Now in its 12th year, the DBOY event held across all dairy regions of New Zealand provides a unique opportunity for farmers to obtain a comprehensive farm performance assessment and report on their dairy enterprise’s financial, human resources and environmental management, the triple bottom line.
Regional Optimisation Days that highlight how award-winning farmers have obtained a resilient and profitable system will be held this year on the regional winners’ farms throughout NZ during October and November.
“These field day events are a great day out and an excellent opportunity to hear and learn from some of NZ’s most resilient, sustainable and innovative dairy farmers,” DBOY managing director Warren Morritt says.
“Attending these events provides an opportunity to see first-hand those farming principles that are applied on these high-performing farms and is a perfect time to ask questions, share ideas and to expand your own farm knowledge that could then be applied to your farming system.”
Winner of the 2018 DBOY supreme award, Tim Montgomerie of MOBH Farm says “We have entered DBOY three times now as the data gained via the farm performance report is invaluable in assisting us make evidence-based decisions for our business.
“DBOY allows us to benchmark ourselves with other top-end businesses and provides an accurate warts-and-all critique of our business.”
On behalf of all the sponsors the competition is managed by Headlands and sponsored by gold sponsors the Ministry for Primary Industries, Theland Farm Group and Headlands, silver sponsor Nutrinza and bronze sponsors Dairy Exporter, Pioneer, NZI, CRV Ambreed, JobDone, Dairy Farmer and supported by No8HR and PGG Wrightson Real Estate.
The awards are being held at the Millennium Hotel in Queenstown on Thursday June 20.
