DairyNZ's Baseline Project is an extension of DairyBase that collects detailed data from dairy farmers, beyond the usual feed and fertiliser use. This comprehensive information helps respond to policy pressures, like water quality and greenhouse gas legislation, and contributes to wider dairy industry statistics. By participating, you'll receive personal DairyBase physical and financial reports and an annual Overseer report.
Dairy farmers are invited to participate in DairyNZ’s Baseline Project. The project is an extension of DairyBase, and provides invaluable data to the dairy industry.
