Business Management in Dairy
Welcome to the DPI Dairy Business Page. As dairy businesses have become more intensive over the years, there has been a resultant need to also grow the farm management skill base held by all involved. Larger herds and more complex financing structures also bring with them additional challenges such as having to employ and manage staff, more active management of input cost risk (eg forward contract grain) and to have a clear understand of the entire farming system.
On this site, you will find useful information in assisting you to both understand and manage your farming business better. If there is a topic you would like more information on, tell us what you like more information on and we will update the site!
