Dear Member,

With plenty happening on farm at this time of year, we have prepared a couple of timely updates that focus on practical changes you can make now, alongside opportunities that could benefit your business over the coming months.

In your Mailing,

SFI26 - Easy Wins

With input costs still under pressure, SFI26 offers a timely opportunity to bring in additional income through simple, practical changes on farm.

In this Dairy Insight, we highlight some of the most accessible and worthwhile options for dairy farms - showing how small adjustments can unlock funding, improve system performance and support longer-term resilience.

Boot Dip Dairy Insight

The daily movement of people on to and around the farm is one of the most overlooked routes for disease spread. Without consistent and effective boot dip use, pathogens can easily move between cattle, undermining herd health and performance.

This Dairy Insight focuses on straightforward changes that can significantly reduce that risk and strengthen your biosecurity in practice, not just on paper.

We hope you find this month’s updates both useful and thought‑provoking as you look at opportunities across your business. If anything stands out or you would like to explore how it could work in practice on your farm, the team would be very happy to help.

All the best,

We are keen to hear from as many farmers as possible about the cow brushes you are using; what works well and what does not work quite so well. The results will be published to help farmers make informed decisions when investing in cow equipment, so your input is extremely valuable.

To help reduce paper use, we won’t be sending out printed copies of this survey as standard. However, if you would prefer us to send you a paper version, please contact the office and we will be happy to arrange one for you.
