Why planning is crucial
With the demand for dairy products still increasing and the allocation of arable land more and more being allocated for residential and industrial purposes dairy farmers face the following challenge:
“Doing more with less”
The only way to achieve this is through sustainable and efficient dairy farming practices in which planning plays a crucial role.
There is a trend growing in which the amount of farms is decreasing, but the output of individual farms needs to increase.
Dairy farmers need to have a strategy in order to operate sustainable and become profitable. In order for a strategy to work, it needs to integrate the dairy farms stakeholder’s major goals, policies and actions.
A good developed strategy will make it easier to allocate the farms resources in a more sustainable way; it will also make the farm more tolerant for unexpected market changes.
With this in mind we believe that making plans before creating is very important.
Economical goals and targets such as revenue and profit will be easier to achieve when integrating 6 elements:
Safe Production
Land, Water, Energy Saving
Quality Control
Disease Control
Expansion
Total Cow Comfort
Starting it up
Setting-up a dairy farm requires significant capital, so it is best to work with consultants who have experience in the preparation steps in order to set the goals of the farm.
We discuss all options with you to en- sure a good integration of the components involved in building dairy farms; all done with growth and the local regulations in mind.
This step should require the most attention before proceeding to buying and building.
Working it
After we have laid out our plans we can proceed to getting them visualised. As with all steps “Integration” is the KEY! We believe that proper integration is realised through good design.
With our team of experts in design and construction we make sure all components of the Dairy farm are well integrated.
Based on the overall design, which we create together, we can proceed to the next steps.
Finishing it
After visualising our plans we will proceed to realising them. This step involves; contracting a reliable construction and design team before the purchasing of suitable equipment.
We believe that the planning, design and integration should be either done by one partner to assure that they t together, and in close constant communication with each other.
We have a good network of certified partners to deliver you all necessary equipment to deliver you all that is necessary.
