The collaboration allows farmers to securely connect their CRV myHERD records directly to Fonterra, helping pre-populate the animal section of their Farm Dairy Records – reducing double-handling of information.
myHERD manager David Wheadon says it’s great to be able to reduce admin for farmers.
“We know farmers are juggling a lot, especially when it comes to managing and reporting herd and farm data across different platforms,” says David.
“We’ve made it a priority to work closely with Fonterra to enable simple, secure data sharing between our systems.”
Farmers can opt-in to the new data-sharing connection via the Farm Source website.
By linking the two systems, farmers who use CRV’s herd recording services can save valuable time and ensure greater accuracy.
“At CRV, we’re focused on giving farmers tools that not only support better breeding and herd management decisions, but also help reduce the admin burden,” says David. “This partnership with Fonterra is another step towards making herd data work harder for farmers.”
CRV remains dedicated to helping farmers capture quality data, interpret it meaningfully, and use it to make improvements on farm – and now, sharing that data with Fonterra is even simpler.
Dedicated support from both CRV and Fonterra teams is available to help farmers set up and manage their connections.
