On this week's Inside Dairy, we discuss the recent bounce in grass growth and what it means for grazing management over the coming weeks. We look at where stocking rates should be pitched for the remainder of the grazing season and how farmers can make the most of improving grass supplies.
We also tackle a topic that is often talked about, but not always acted upon – cashflow budgets. How many dairy farmers are actually completing one? What are the different methods available, which approach works best and what are the key advantages of having a cashflow budget in place? With ongoing volatility in costs and milk prices, understanding your cash position has never been more important.
Plus, we chat with Michael Carroll, winner of the Dairygold Milk Quality Awards, about the practices and attention to detail that helped him achieve top recognition for milk quality.
All that and more, on this week's episode of Inside Dairy.
