Launched last week, the Milk Benchmarking website, www.milkbench.org.uk , allows farmers to compare their farms with others in minutes to help them find best practices and cut costs.
Farmers can input details about their business, such as the amount of milk sold, cow numbers and land area to receive a benchmark report. They are then provided with a graph comparing their farm with the top and bottom 10% of businesses whose details have been entered into the system.
Milk Bench hope by making the system quicker to use more farmers will use the system and see the benefits of benchmarking.
