Performance management for improved productivity and profit
Paul Reidy - expert consulting advice about effectively managing your Taranaki dairy farm performance using a whole farm approach
Do you want a resilient dairy farm production system that:
- Can be profitable every year and not just when milk price is high?
- Has a low production-cost base to insulate your dairy farm business from price shocks?
- Generates sufficient funds in better times to exploit opportunities in lean years, when other businesses can’t capitalise.
Understanding which factors affect each component of production enables me to help you to improve your overall Taranaki dairy farm productivity.
Adopting a whole farm approach enables me to combine your physical production and financial plans to gauge the full impacts of making any changes to your Taranaki farming systems.
A resilient dairy farm system will optimise the pasture supply, crop and supplement use with a stocking rate level that will enable you to become more profitable when milk prices are not high. Increasing the amount of pasture grown and eaten on dairy farms is highly correlated to improved profitability.
I provide specialist advice for Taranaki dairy farmers in the areas of:
- Maximising pasture growth and utilisation
- Optimising supplement use
- Feed budgeting, management and feed planning
- Fertiliser and nitrogen
- Computer modelling for more profitable dairy farm production systems
- Optimising herd/cow production
