Ceredigion: Working smarter on farm

Save time, improve consistency and get more from your team at this practical workshop, where you'll learn lean management techniques and how standard operating procedures (SOPs) can make everyday farm tasks easier to manage.

Join us at Sychpant Farm with dairy vet Dan Humphries to discover simple ways to streamline routines, reduce wasted time and create systems that help jobs get done right, every time.

As dairy businesses grow and become more reliant on technology and additional staff, clear, consistent ways of working are increasingly important. This workshop will give you practical tools to improve efficiency, support your team and maintain high standards of animal welfare and milk quality.

You'll learn how to:

• Apply the core principles of lean management to improve the efficiency of your dairy business
• Identify and reduce waste in everyday routines
• Improve staff satisfaction, working hours and safety through better ways of working
• Develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) for key tasks, helping ensure consistency while saving time and protecting milk quality and animal welfare
• Take away practical ideas you can put into practice immediately on your own farm

You'll also tour Sychpant Farm to see lean management and SOPs in action, including in the dry cow and calf-rearing areas, as well as the farm's milking parlour routines and day-to-day management.

Leave with practical ideas and proven approaches you can adapt to your own business to make daily management simpler, improve consistency across your team and free up more time to focus on the areas that add the greatest value to your farm.
