Grassmere Dairy is a family farming business located in Colyton in the Manawatu near the town of Feilding. The business consists of three farms, with two dairy platforms: 50 and 80 bail rotary sheds including in-shed feeding, automatic wash and automatic cup removers. We use Halter to manage pasture, animal health, mating and herd movement. We are working towards being a Lean Farm. Lean is a proven, global best practice management system/ philosophy for operating a business. It is based on a culture of continuous improvement in everything you do, challenging the status quo and constantly identifying and eliminating waste in all its forms from your farm processes. It is about working smarter not harder and achieving more with less through better processes and ways of working. We are involved in the Rural Innovation Lab SmartFarm network. This enables us to be a pilot farm trialling a variety of innovative ideas and technologies on our farms. We are always searching for good technologies and ideas that will help us be a more productive, efficient and sustainable farm while making our work easier. See grassmeredairy.nz
