Finding the reproductive sweet spot
Increasing input costs on farm are topical. But it’s well-accepted that reproduction really is a key moment in the farming calendar. Time, effort and money must be invested to set future production up. We all want to reduce cost where we can, yet we also want to hit the `sweet spot’ and capture the highest returns at the lowest effort and cost.
