Farmeron – Complete Dairy Farm Management

The farming industry is undergoing rapid changes, as technology and automation take hold. Farmeron is an application that pushes these changes even further, offering a web-based platform that dairy farmers can use to manage their businesses, track production, and store important animal data safely in the cloud.

Instantly improve the way your farm operates when you sign up for a free Farmeron trial account. Farmeron will guide you through the process of setting up an account, prompting you to enter things like daily feeding orders, partners, animal lists, and master records for your barns. Group your animals into virtual “pens,” based on housing needs, health issues, or reproductive statuses. You can also create flexible feeding groups, and mark any animals that are currently eligible for production as “active.”

The data you enter into Farmeron is used to create comprehensive graphs and spreadsheets, providing you with a better insight into milking trends and the currently state of your herd. Farmeron is also a useful tool from a financial perspective, helping dairy farmers make the data-based business decisions that will positively impact their bottom lines.
