Last year I began working with Barbers Cheese as  Farms Sustainability Manager, this gives me a great insight into the current carbon footprint of many dairy farms. I advise farmers on how to farm in a more environmentally friendly way, or  Nature Positive as Barbers have named it. 
Also in 2025 I spoke at Groundswell on how to avoid high costs on the dairy farm and reducing working time and labour as well as power and machinery. I based my talk on having enough milk yield to remain flexible, and extend the grazing if conditions allow, use herbal leys and consider self feed. If the farmer is lucky enough to be on a manufacturing contract, then by reassessing their milk solid yield then they can focus on that and not milk yield.
Better still a backward budget would be the way to go, and investigate how much money is needed to service family needs first and foremost. 
February 2021 I was accredited by Groundswell Agronomy, I'm now a farmer facilitator for the Wessex region of Pasture fed Livestock Association as well as a British Grassland Society 2021 Grass Mentor.  I am a grazing and cost reduction consultant with experience and skills in dairy, youngstock, beef and sheep grazing, specializing  in Herbal ley, Diverse swards and New Zealand Rotational grazing systems.
