No 6: Wards Farm

[ Last Updated 21 October 2005 ]


Sharemilkers Thomas and Fiona Ward have implemented various software applications to help them manage the operations of their farm in Canterbury, New Zealand. The DairyWin™ Concept Cash Manager™ and All-About-Grass™ applications enable them to keep accurate and integrated records of their cattle, from fertility records to production worth of cattle. This has reduced the cost of operations through savings in accountant fees and the time required to make decisions.

The case demonstrates that the infrastructure obstacles that the Wards faced did not impede them from investing in applications that were valuable to them although better infrastructure would allow more productivity enhancing opportunities.
