Well impressed you got your head round setting up Farmax, amazingly powerful bit of software but too complicated for me to drive. Any opportunities using what you learned to help setup for others?I don't understand why it's so expensive in this country. I saw it advertised on their NZ Facebook page that it was only $200/year so about £100. Here we were quoted £600/year if we wanted to pay for it. Lucky I was given a free trial for a year through our grazing group and I still have never been charged any money but can still access it wouldn't have paid for it that's for sure.
If it was £100 half arsing it wouldn't matter so much but because it was going to be so expensive I thought I'd better do it properly and use the free trial to learn how to do it. If it was only £100 then I'd likely still use it but not for £600.
But if you were running a grazing system with flexible stock numbers and could trade them easily to fit in with grass supply and demand I could see it being very good value. £600 is only 2.5tonnes of cake and that wouldn't feed very many stock for very long at all. It is very good for that but don't feel like it's for me.
Had a play with Agrinet for a few months, nice & simple for grass wedge etc but no sheep option at the time, may have been updated now.
