Abstract
Computers are becoming an increasing part of the range of tools available to farmers in
carrying out their farm management activities. However, there is a range of utilisation of
computers within the farming sector. This Research Report provides an application which
farmers would find of value in assisting with decision regarding feed conservation and feed
surplus utilisation. Earlier publications in this Series present systems applicable to drenching
decisions and weaning and a farmer evaluation of the use of the type of computer assistance.
This final publication in the series incorporates many of the developments described in earlier
reports. This successful research subject has collected information from producers and
developed computer based support systems which can provide valuable assistance in decision making.
