About

Dairy Business of the Year provides an independent and comprehensive farm analysis, which assesses and defines the systems within your dairy enterprise.

Story

Dairy Business of the Year (DBOY) provides farmers with the opportunity to undertake a high-level analysis of the KPIs within their business that drive profitability, resilience and sustainability, whilst benchmarking themselves against their counterparts. In addition, there is the opportunity to win great prizes, plus the added benefits that come with being engaged with other leading dairy farmers through networking and organised DBOY events.



Richard and Nadine McCullough - Karapiro, Waikato



“The main reason we enter is to benchmark ourselves against other farms, which allows us to identify our strong and weak points. The detailed data analysis and presentation is very good. I’d recommend it. Most farms would certainly benefit from it – the more people that enter the competition, the more everyone within the industry benefits.”



Ben and Mary-Anne Stock - Hinds, mid-Canterbury, 2 farms



“The summary of our farm was really valuable. We liked the whole business approach, assessing the environment and human resources as well as the financial analysis. It was good to be benchmarked against the rest of the group. The competition gave us confidence and some clear direction on areas where we could improve things and identified where we need to work on our business going forward.”



Donna and Bruce Arnold - Morrinsville, Waikato

“The whole experience of entering and benchmarking against other farmers is definitely worth it. Highlighting options for improving our business is a great advantage as we can always do things better. Dairy Business of the Year is a good competition, and the environmental and human resources assessment makes the farm analysis more complete. Meeting like-minded people is a huge benefit and we’ve made some really good friends along the way.”
