Dairy benchmarking program

Project details

Status: Current

Free-of-charge benchmarking program

Find out how your dairy farm compares with others in the State. TIA offers a free and anonymous benchmarking service that provides information about the efficiency and performance indicators of dairy farming businesses.

Full farm report

All businesses who enter the benchmarking receive a detailed farm report, comparing current and previous years' farm information (if available), including financial and physical information such as costs (per cow, per ha and per kg/MS), milk and feed production, labour efficiency, and pasture utilisation; both for your farm business and a state average for Tasmania.

The report is part of the national Dairy Farm Monitor Project (DFMP). Reports on all dairy regions of Australia are available on the Dairy Australia website.
