Client : Consultant Partnership

The family dairy business owner is typically the manager, foreman, GFW, relief Milker, inseminator, and gofer- all at once 365 days a year. Its my job to help the family see more clearly where the business stands, how it functions best and get it to a realistic destination. Its the family's job in this partnership between consultant and client to tell me what you, how you do it - and to have good records - 9.5 times out of 10 this does not mean a computer!

There are indeed several farm certainties in life such as -

crystal balls shatter
politicians interfere with agriculture
cows need milking twice a day
rainfall variation is +/- 20% at the extremes within a 10yr average
