Our mission is to maximize sustainable net income of progressive Ontario dairy farms by providing management products and milk recording services to enhance revenues or reduce expenses.
Dairy ranches have replaced chicken farms in importance, with large operations like Clover Stornetta creating quality milk products for today's market.
They are profitable despite a continuing cost-price squeeze in the dairy industry that is putting many farms out of business.

Integrated research and technology transfer programs are needed to help dairy farmers manage their farms in a cost effective and environmentally acceptable manner and to comply with new farming regulations.
Dairy farms are nominated for the award by professionals in the dairy industry who work with producers, such as dairy plant field representatives, veterinarians, DHI supervisors, or extension personnel.
It is targeted at larger dairy farms, farms operating with Electronic Metres which require the full Dairy COMP 305 program for interfacing, and advisors who need the option to enter data.
