Tight Management Farms
As part of the Tight Management campaign, local Tight Management farms will illustrate low-cost farming and management techniques successfully used on-farm.
These farms will provide a forum for dairy farmers to discuss tactical decisions at a local level, with host farmers describing the monitoring systems in place which ensure their businesses remain profitable. Monthly on-farm forums will discuss key management decisions, along with regular updates through community newspapers and email.
