Are you on stream to meet the various targets you have set for your enterprise? To make your estimated profit margin it will be vital to meet targets such as silage quality, feed intake, calf health, heifer growth etc. John Thompson and Sons Milk Manager system is a costings service which allows the farmer to moniotr progress on a monthly and annual basis so that management can be ‘tweeked’ to keep the enterprise on target. If you decide to make a change in your management system , to purchase stock, or build a new parlour, how do you estimate the exact cost and benefit that it will have on the enterprise. There will be a lot of practical and financial aspects on the farm affected by any change in management or any new purchase. eg. If you decided to change from twice a day milking to three times a day milking what benefits would this have and could those benefits be eroded by extra labour costs, milk quality changes, etc. Milk Manager will allow you to estimate the advantages and disadvantages.

Thompsons also have a Milk Manager league table which allows each participant to check their system against other systems in the league and to benchmark each aspect of their business against the other participants.
