Not sure which service is right for you?

If you need some help to decide, you can give our team a call on 0800 65 65 68.

Or ask yourself these questions - if your answers are mostly 'no', start with an Identify visit.

1. Have you read your Farm Insights Report?

2. Are you familiar with your farm’s emissions footprint?

3. Have you got a plan for improving efficiency in mind already?

It’s about building on where you’re at, so you can meet your goals with confidence.

Frequently asked questions

A member of your local Sustainable Dairying team.

They’re a source of specialised knowledge around best practice farm management and are here to help farmers meet their efficiency goals. They’re familiar with farm systems and technical concepts (such as nutrient management and greenhouse gas emissions).

It’s a Co-op service, so there’s no direct cost for our farmers.

Yes – we would love for them to come along. We work for Co-op farmers, and your trusted teams are an important part of this.

We start with your Farm Insights Report – this is a personalised report for your supply number, using data from your Farm Dairy Records, milk collections and other data sources. It outlines key efficiency opportunities.

We also have other benchmarking and scenario planning tools, that we use in the Plan visit. These help you to explore opportunities in more depth – from comparing your farm to other similar farms, and estimating the impact of different scenarios on your farm’s emissions.
