Manage episode 335999796 series 2932023
In this episode we take a look at features of the Top 25% of NSW Dairy Farm Monitor Farms in terms of their profitability and productivity over the last 10 years.
Funding from the NSW Farm Business Resilience Program enabled this project to happen. It has highlighted key physical and financial traits of the top performers such as herd size, usable land area, production, stocking rate, cow and labour efficiency and cost of production.
Farmers and industry are always keen to understand features of profitable dairy businesses under different conditions. In Australia we are fortunate to have a national program led by Dairy Australia called the Dairy Farm Monitor Project that enables us to do this across the different dairying regions with the support of generous anonymous dairy farmers who provide their time and information. This supports individual businesses understand their performance but also provides us with insight into farm performance during the course of a year and trends over time.
