Eblex has been collecting information on production costs from 400 commercial enterprises for 10 years.
From 2013, Stocktake will be the new face of Business Pointers, and Eblex is recruiting farmers to take part. Participating farmers typically spend no more than half a day assembling the basic farm costs information with staff from one of the regional benchmarking offices.
Once analysed, participating farmers receive a detailed report of their figures which highlights their businesses’ strengths and weaknesses compared with the rest of the industry, and all datasets are checked via an independent validation process.
What is Stocktake?
- Stocktake is a cost and performance comparison service which draws on information collected from participating beef and sheep enterprises.
