Episode 2: Why weigh?
Paeroa dairy farmers Brendan and Tessa Hopson have moved from a manual weighing and EID system to one that is fully automated, with outstanding results. They share their journey with us.
"Being able to weigh your stock really just gives you data to use to make informed decisions and improvements in your business's performance."
