Dairy Australia’s on-farm programs are designed to help dairy farmers become better skilled and prepare for the future.

Many dairy farmers have achieved benefits from a range of projects that improve on-farm practices and technology such as: new and alternative pastures; feeding regimes; fodder conservation; pasture renovation; herd breeding; herd health; milk shed equipment; computer programs; and much more.
