Plenty of farms milk well and still don't make money. This 5-part course is about running the dairy so it's profitable on purpose: knowing your cost per litre, keeping the records that reveal it, widening your margin, managing cashflow and debt, and growing without breaking the farm.
Chapter 1 — the one number most dairy farmers can't tell you, and the only one that decides whether you're actually making money.
Chapter 2 — what to track, what to ignore, and how a few minutes of recording a day turns guesswork into decisions.
Chapter 3 — margin over feed, seasonality, milk quality bonuses, and plugging the leaks that quietly drain profit.
Chapter 4 — profit isn't cash, the dairy cash cycle, borrowing without sinking the farm, and keeping a buffer.
Chapter 5 — scaling herd vs. yield, reinvesting wisely, and writing the one-page business plan that ties the course together. Your deliverable: that plan.
