The Dairy Cost Study program for 2025 is officially underway, with enrolment open from January 1 through February 28, 2025. Designed specifically for Alberta dairy producers, the program offers a no-cost, in-depth economic analysis of individual dairy operations for the 2024 production cycle.
The study aims to help producers enhance profitability, reduce costs, and identify efficiency opportunities. Pauline Van Biert, a research analyst with the Alberta government, emphasizes the value of the program:
“Having a deeper understanding of your farm’s production costs can enhance confidence when making active management decisions. Understanding the connection between cost and returns is essential for setting targets and improving your farm’s operation.”
The Dairy Cost Study not only provides a fresh perspective on a producer’s financial performance but also allows for benchmarking against provincial averages. This can help identify high-cost areas, evaluate management strategies, and uncover opportunities to improve operational efficiency. Van Biert adds:
“Once you have a clear understanding of your costs and returns, you can make more informed decisions and seize opportunities.”
Producers interested in gaining actionable insights into their operations are encouraged to sign up. Learn more and enroll at AgriProfit$ – Dairy Cost Study before the February 28 deadline.
