Dairy Pay out used to calculate monthly dairy payments

It would be great if you could add a note on the budget side of the dairy forecaster so that you can put the number you are basing your budget on. This could also so be used by Fonterra farms as this is all based on a % of the farm gate milk price.

Just some where on the dairy forecaster that you can put the number you are basing your budget on. This could also so be used by Fonterra farms as this is all base of a % of the farm gate milk price.

Hi Bryson, You total milk production will be tallied at the bottom of the dairy forecaster and you can amend your planned production as the season progresses to see what your closing total production might be. When you set your budget at the beginning of the year with your target production you can save a copy of this budget as a baseline and then compare on Line 2 in your Working Plan to see how you are performing against target

Farm focus: Yes I know this and use it all the time but I was not talking about production. I was talking about payout. With Fonterra you will be payed 80% of the forecast in June which is the payout number at the bottom of the dairy forecaster, when doing budgets or updating before the season starts it is nice to see what you ran the budget at the time before.

Hi Bryson, in the Dairy Forecaster you can click on the Settings cog icon at the top right hand corner of the screen to change milk companies if you are not Fonterra. Select "Other" and you will have free-format option to enter in your monthly milk payment details.
