How do you continue improving farm performance when expansion is no longer an option? In this episode, Matt and Wade are joined by Taranaki dairy farmer Andy Slater to explore how a focus on pasture utilisation, feed management, and clear farm systems has helped lift productivity while keeping the operation simple and enjoyable to run. Andy shares why Jerseys remain the foundation of the herd, how maize silage fits into the feeding system, and why spring nutrition starts well before mating.
The team also discuss the benefits of in-shed feeding, managing cow condition and health, and the role automation has played in creating a more efficient dairy operation. From upgrading to a rotary shed designed for one-person milking through to refining feeding and farm management systems, Andy shares practical lessons on improving productivity, efficiency, and milk solids performance.
