Producing more than 950,000 litres of milk a year with our herd

In 2018, the farm grows 230 acres (79ha) of grain corn, 302 acres (103 ha) of soybeans, 23 acres (8ha) of hay and 51 acres (18ha) of corn soiling.

Les cultures sont faites en « méthode conventionnelle » et en semis-direct. D’ailleurs en 2014 Dominique a inventé un équipement permettant de faire le semis-direct sans qu’il y ai bourrage ; il y a tasse-résidus à même le semoir. Année après année l’équipement est amélioré.

Feed animals are in indoor free-stalling while dairy cows are attached. Milking is done 3 times a day (since February 2016) with rails milkers in automatic back. To ensure comfort, there are mattresses on the bunks and the crossbar of the cows has been removed to put a chain in it.

In 2018 the farm has a quota of 106kg of mg and has 64 cows in production (average).

The DAS, the T4, the GST-QST applications, everything is done on the farm with the exception of the tax return. An Excel file was set up in 2000 to maintain accounting books (customer/supplier accounts, cheque printing, etc.) and annual reports (balance sheet, cash flow, earnings statements, farm plan). This data, maintained as a spreadsheet, has a great advantage: that of being able to analyze it according to the needs of managers. Annually, financial statements are provided to financial institutions in detail and accompanied by a financial report by production.
