Experienced consultants are available to help dairy and beef producers face the challenge of feeding their herds this winter.
Free, 1-on-1 sessions can help you:
- work out if you've got enough feed to get through
- choose options and strategies to close the fodder gap
- consider implications on business, feeding and livestock management.
Feed.FIBRE.future's 1-on-1 consultations provide a confidential discussion between the farm team and a nutrition and business management specialist. The 90-minute sessions are held in a small meeting room at a local meeting place.
The format is flexible, and will be guided by the needs of the farm team. The session will focus on the issues most important to you. For example, you may wish to discuss feeding strategies, water issues, financial concerns or labour issues.
At the end of the session, you will receive written notes to take home, including actions to follow up.
Who are they for?
All dairy and beef producers are eligible for a free, 1-on-1 consultation.
We encourage more than one person from each farming business to attend the 1-on-1 consultation. For example, a husband and wife, or farm owner and share-farmer or father and son or daughter.
It does not matter whether you've attended a feed.FIBRE.future workshop or not.
Farmers may hear about 1-on-1 consultations through feed.FIBRE.future workshops, dairy company field officers, advisers, service providers or other farmers.
How do I get a 1-on-1 consultation?
It is essential to register through your regional co-ordinator (see table below).
To ensure you get the most out of your consultation, you will be asked to bring along supporting information. For example, details of your feeds on hand and stock numbers, your milk or farm income estimation or a profit and loss statement.
