When a dairy farm is sustainably managed, it can result in many benefits to the farm business. Not only can there be improvements to soil health and feed production and but there can also be benefits to animal health as well as for the people in the business. In addition, proactively managing the natural assets of the farm, can help to preserve and restore the natural environment, including waterways, soil health, water quality, native plants, and animals.
