Farmers generally feel they are making reasonable feeding decisions - except when they make a bad decision.  Farmax is totally focussed on planning, monitoring and reviewing so that as a professional farmer you always make excellent decisions and always have a feasible way forward.

• What is the best way through this dry period?
• What if this dry period gets worse, how will I position the farm?   
• What do I do now the meat schedules have changed so unexpectedly, or store prices seem to have created an opportunity? 

"Farmax Pro and Farmtools are professional tools for maximising your opportunities"

Imagine in March you are doing your winter feed budget in Farmax. Farmax is predicting you will have a feed deficit in September.

This is shown in the pasture cover graph, the average pasture cover (green line) falls below the minimum required cover (blue line) in September.This means there will not be enough feed to achieve what you are planning.

You need to make a change to ensure you meet your targets through the spring. You think you could reduce liveweight gains of your bulls, sell a few bulls, buy in some hay or put on some nitrogen, but which is best?

This is where Farmax will quantify how many bulls you need to sell or how much hay you should buy, and for each option how much it will cost.

If you do nothing and your bulls didnt put on as much liveweight as you were planning this cost the example farm $11,000, the table below give a breakdown of this. 

You then run the other options through Farmax and find applying urea to an extra 100ha March is the most cost effective option costing $9,000, and will ensure your bulls are up to target weight.

Using Farmax to make the best short term decision saved this farm $2,000, and will not be the only decision to be made this year.
