[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 6045910, member: 166"] I've done Cropbench and Farmbench for the last 3 years. I didn't see what was particularly personal about it. I only used the AHDB model was only because the national farming company I used to benchmark with stopped doing it in-house and out sourced it to AHDB. Yes, the aggregated data seems to be given out to the media and anyone else who wants it! That is my only major concern. I've found it quite useful and a good discussion topic amongst my local group. We're taking it in turns to host tours around our farms, starting with the person who grew his wheat the cheapest. He's a neighbour of mine whose place always looks immaculate. Benchmarking is quite a contentious topic in TFF. Most understandably don't want their data seen by all & regard their business as their own. I enjoy the discussion and learning from those better at farming than me, though there are caveats e.g. how sustainable a system is if they are living off depreciation without reinvestment or not applying any P or K. The figures are just the start of the debate on understanding why you are different and whether that's better or worse, or indeed appropriate to worry about at all. I'll leave you with this: [ATTACH=full]773852[/ATTACH] Discuss... [/QUOTE]
