Keep clean farm records as decision making tools to ensure better returns

On every farm there are hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or even annual events that happen and need documentation. These events form the farm story - a narrative whose analysis can give direction to a success harbour.

The simple act of putting these events in writing is called record taking. Records are key decision tools in all aspects of farming. Good records can be used to get a better price for your animal when selling, they can be used to secure loans and make decisions that can increase farm productivity.
