Feed and financial farm planning

Understand your feed requirements year-round, and budget for these effectively to avoid surprises and cost overruns, with our feed and financial farm planning services.

Farm team recruitment

Our farm recruitment services will help you to build a team that share and deliver on your vision for the farm. From drafting a job description and advertising a vacancy that stands out from the crowd, to interviewing and shortlisting to place staff in your roles who are a good fit for you, we help you build the team you want.

Feasibility studies

Whether you're considering new infrastructure, reassessing your operations or looking at solutions to solve a pressing problem, our feasibility studies help you to understand and weigh up your options aligned to your business goals.

Dispute reporting

In the event of an employment dispute, RECO can act as an independent mediator between employer and employee or contract milker and farm owner. Depending on the situation, this may include informal actions, warnings, disciplinary action, early resolution, mediation and records of settlement.

Farm policies and environmental plans

We offer a range of policy and planning services, including evaluating farm systems against environmental limits, developing farm environmental plans, assessing economic effects of policy change and developing new and updated policy to comply with changing legislation and regulations.

Accredited body condition scorer

From determining future feed requirements, to assessing which cows to dry off and when, to providing an explanation around reproductive performance, as accredited body condition scorers we can help you make informed decisions about your stock.

Milk monitoring and forecasting

Understand and calculate your projected milk production (kgMS) and associated income. Track and recalculate when the milk price moves or your farming system inputs change. Keep abreast of your production numbers and the impacts on your business at any given time, with our milk monitoring and forecasting services.

Full farm oversight

Oversight can be a great way to allow Farm Owners and their stakeholders to take a step back from what keeps them tied to the farm. Enjoy having access to the farm while not having to deal with the day to day management decisions and staff.
