Farmers
often then hire people to assist with farm duties and, in some cases,
choose to farm-share. This is where two families share the work,
allowing them to share the responsibilities of running the farm
together. This allows farmers to choose the hours and duties that suit
the lifestyle they want, perhaps deciding to manage the office duties
and have other staff look after the milking, caring for the cows and
the land.
While running a
dairy farm
is hard work, it's great for people who enjoy the outdoors, being with
animals and producing quality milk for the whole community. New
technologies and farm systems are always being introduced to help
farmers with managing their farm and staff so that they save themselves
time to do other things. Today, farmers are also able to raise more
animals at a lower cost, while using less land.
Dairy farming is
very
important for the Australian economy.
