Abstract

The CF2000 farm monitoring programme enables farmers to monitor factors relevant to their property and management, as well as enabling comparisons to be made with other members of the group through benchmarking. Data recording is divided into a compulsory core section and an optional section. Data is processed by a bureau, and the reports which include a variety of graphs showing an individual’s performance relative to the group, are returned to participating farmers along with comments from the farm-ers’ consultant. Members-only field days are held three times per year for educational and motivational purposes.
