Frequently asked questions
A member of your local Sustainable Dairying team (SDA's).
SDA's are experts in your bespoke farm insights, offering specialised knowledge to help you understand your farm’s emissions profile and environmental footprint. They are here to support you in meeting your efficiency goals and making informed decisions for a more sustainable future.
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.
