We stand for the following propositions:

1.

It is nonsense that a (dairy) farmer should only earn his money in the barn! Which is an often heard saying. There is a lot to earn in the fields and grassland!

The most determining factor in milk balance and animal health is forage production. Getting the most out of the own feed production in quantity and quality largely determines the milk balance. Every kilo of protein, starch, vitamins and minerals and other nutritional elements that you collect from your own (EXPENSIVE) land is a direct profit on not having to purchase .. and not having to dispose of extra manure. And that counts HUGE in your operating result. In addition, the "job satisfaction" that is the beauty of being a farmer also goes hand in hand with working on the (grass) land! And it is nonsense that no money is made with this nice work. A dairy farmer is not a pig farmer !

Investing in good mechanization, in knowledge and advice and good cooperation with a skilled contractor is therefore certainly important and profitable !

2.

The soil under the company balance under the influence of the feed production results is literally .... THE SOIL !

Just like the rumen of the cows, the soil is also a world of micro-organisms that are fed with nutrients (fertilizers) - water and air. And these micro-organisms convert the nutrients as building blocks for the crop: your grass, your maize and your protein crop. Just as the rumen bacteria in the cow ensure the conversion of feed into building blocks for milk and meat production. it is crucial for your milk balance from your feed that this SOIL also functions optimally. If you leave it here... then the effectiveness of all other expensive measures such as fertilization - sprinkling - crop choice - choice of variety - crop protection is already insufficient in advance! You can compare this with the hoof care of the cows. You can put together such a beautiful / expensive ration, You can install such a beautiful milking technique... but if the cows don't come out of the boxes to go to the feeding fence or milking machine... then the effectiveness is reduced bad bad!

So we point out the importance of regular maintenance of the furrow and soil under your crops. As the basis of your company balance. Just like you know that you also have to do hoof care. We bring you advice and assistance and resources for this!

3.

Thinking of growing grass-clover and/or other protein crops without soil care is nonsensical!

Every farmer knows well that without good rooting, water and air management a crop cannot grow well. So it makes sense to restore closed-in soil, aerate it and ensure good water drainage and supply. But did you also know that a good pH (acidity) and an active soil life are just as important? A little too acidic ... then your clover in your grassland will disappear quickly. Also all other leguminous / protein crops (peas, beans, alfalfa, etc.) will grow poorly. A bit too basic (so too much lime), gives the same problems! But the soil structure, water-air, acidity and organic matter content are also of crucial importance for an active soil life. Micro-organisms do all the work for you! All these micro-organisms ensure that all nutrients can be absorbed by the crop.

In short: the soil life takes care of your milk! And if you realize that, there is still a lot to gain. By ensuring good soil maintenance, place targeted PH measurement, place targeted liming, aerating and eliminating soil compaction for both wet and dry times. Optimizing the use and utilization of organic fertilizers and reducing acidifying fertilizers. And give the soil life a helping hand by administering effective micro-organisms (EM). And that requires frequent maintenance!

AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE DO FOR YOU!

MILK WITH THE FLOW !

"Milk what's in the pot". In other words, don't hold fast to ever made up numbers and terms like BSK or other milk control numbers. It's all about one thing: milk balance! And then it is almost always the case that it is more profitable (and animal health) to have temporarily but somewhat lower production figures if one temporarily feeds less quality roughage, instead of keeping production up to scratch at any cost by purchasing expensive chunks and soy (mixes). These artificially last liters almost always cost much more than they can ever afford. And they often ensure that the vet and manure distributor are more often in front of the barn door. Milk from own obtained roughage and concentrates with good and less good production times is the most profitable! With our rationing support we can assist you very well in this. Kees Oomen has been doing this for 25 years! With practical rationing based on cow, manure, production and feed signals.
