Farm System Analysis
Benefits of an FSA

Pioneer's unique - free, no obligation - Farm System Analysis has helped hundreds of New Zealand farmers get the most out of their maize silage investment.

And it can help you too.

One of our experienced Forage Specialists will come to your farm and undertake an analysis of your operation and then, taking into account your farming goals, recommend the opportunities for your farm.



Farm System Analysis

 
 

By using the Farm System Analysis (FSA) tool our Forage Specialists can help you answer fundamental questions such as:

 
Am I feeding the right supplement at the right time?
Is my feed supply large enough for the number of cows and my production target?
Is my current stocking rate right for my farm?
Are my cows producing milk efficiently?
Could I milk for longer and if so, how can I achieve this?
 

Furthermore, they will provide information specifically relating to maize and help you to determine whether you:

 
could get more milk and money if you fed maize silage at a different stage of the lactation?
are using all of your maize efficiently or whether there is an opportunity to reduce any wastage?
can improve stack or feed-out management to save time or reduce losses.


If your operation requires a more in-depth review, such as examining the pasture harvested (a key driver of profit in the New Zealand system) or feed conversion efficiency, we can provide that support too.

An initial FSA takes less than an hour. We believe it is important to undertake a regular review of this kind - preferably annually. This will help you assess what has happened in the current season and plan opportunities for the following one.
