Share to Milk has been developed to provide information, advice and support for dairy farmers interested in farm level collaboration. It shows you how to reduce costs, improve efficiencies and add value to your farm business by collaborating with others. These opportuinities are demonstrated using a series of case study examples of farmers who have successfully strengthened their businesses through collaboration.

Collaborating with others can help you reduce costs and add value to your farm business, as well as providing many other potential financial and lifestyle benefits.

A selection of examples where farmers in the dairy have successfully collaborated to reduce costs and add value to their farm businesses in the dairy sector.

There are a wide range of opportunities for collaboration within agricultural production. Collaborative agreements could range from anything between a simple machinery sharing arrangement, through to a full joint farming venture.

This can be a partnership, limited liability partnership or limited company by share. The later are the most commonly used, however legal advice should be sought from your solicitor on the most appropriate vehicle to deliver the goals and objectives of your prospective partnership.

We have collaborated with a number of organisations to deliver Share to Milk.
