The Lean Dairy Farm book release - helping farmers to be better, smarter and more productive.

AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND, MAY 13TH 2019

The Lean Dairy Farm – helping farmers to be better, smarter, and more productive. New book out now.

Lean is revolutionising farming globally with its proven solution for reducing waste, improving productivity and sustaining profits. The Lean Dairy Farm author and Lean consultant Jana Hocken explains why this approach is essential to every farm. She uses her own family’s farm as a case study, and introduces practical tools that every farmer can apply on their farm. The Lean Dairy Farm shows how to create a lean farm culture.

Jana says: “Farm processes are full of waste – in fact often 95% of farm processes don’t add any value to the customer, product or farm business.” Farmers are spending a significant amount of time on this waste. This adds unnecessary cost and work to their farms.

Lean will help all farmers to see and eliminate this waste. This will improve their productivity, make things easier, reduce costs, improve safety, animal welfare, sustainability and employee engagement. Even if Lean is entirely new to the reader, this book offers a simple blueprint for applying its principles and practices to improve every farm.

Jana states: “Whether you are a Dairy Farmer, Sheep and Beef farmer or Grower, lean is relevant to your business. If you want a more efficient, profitable and robust farm, The Lean Dairy Farm is for you.” It is available globally online through all major booksellers including Amazon and Book Depository. It is also available in major bookstores across Australia and New Zealand. Visit www.theleandairyfarm.com for more information.
