More profit from higher machinery costs

摘要

Assessment of machinery costs is often an area neglected by many dairy farmers due to lack of interest or time. However, it can have an enormous effect on farm profitability and should be considered with the same level of importance as costs more directly associated with livestock, such as purchased feeds. It is often a mistaken philosophy that to improve farm efficiency you need to reduce all costs. This is not necessarily the case, as found at Ccta Gelli Aur College Farm, where the approach to farm profitability has been addressed by the farm manager, John Owen.
