Case Study: ExcelCrop Revolutionises Dairy and Beef Farming in East Gippsland

At ExcelCrop, we take pride in delivering innovative solutions that empower farmers to optimise productivity and sustainability. The success story of Gary Allott and his family, who manage a 196-hectare dairy and beef property in East Gippsland, is a testament to the transformative impact of our products.

Background: Situated north of Welshpool and just five kilometres from the coast, Gary Allott and his family oversee a diverse farming operation. With a focus on dairy and beef production, they manage a herd of 200 Friesians and Jersey/Friesian crosses for milk, alongside 100-150 Angus steers for beef, on their expansive property.

Enhancing Production Efficiency: Gary's commitment to sustainable farming practices is evident in his approach to production. With a yield of 60,000 kilograms of milk solids per year from 120 hectares, Gary emphasises quality over quantity. Adopting a once-a-day milking regimen has not only reduced stress for both the herd and the farmer but also optimised production efficiency.

Embracing Sustainable Practices: Driven by a desire to minimise environmental impact, Gary has transitioned away from chemical sprays entirely. By incorporating red clover into the pasture mix and implementing a pasture rotation strategy, he aims to stimulate year-round grass growth and enhance feed quality. The introduction of ExcelCrop's liquid fish fertiliser has further fortified their pasture quality, ensuring vibrant green feed even in the harshest of conditions.

Improving Feed Quality and Soil Health: Gary's decision to integrate ExcelCrop's liquid fish fertiliser into their farming regimen has yielded remarkable results. Not only have silage and hay paddocks thrived through challenging seasons, but the overall health and vitality of the soil have also improved significantly. The increase in dung beetle and worm populations stands as a testament to the product's efficacy in nurturing a balanced ecosystem.

Financial Sustainability: Beyond enhancing productivity, Gary emphasises the financial benefits of incorporating ExcelCrop's products into their operations. By reducing input costs and optimising resource utilisation, they've achieved tangible improvements in farm profitability. The transition to once-a-day milking has led to substantial cost savings, while the overall health and conception rates of their cattle have shown remarkable improvement.

Unwavering Satisfaction: Gary Allott and his family are unequivocal in their endorsement of ExcelCrop's liquid fish fertiliser. Its affordability, coupled with tangible on-farm benefits, has cemented its role as a cornerstone of their farming practices. With visible improvements in feed quality, soil health, and animal welfare, the Allott family remains steadfast in their commitment to ExcelCrop's transformative solutions.

Conclusion: The success story of Gary Allott and his family serves as a beacon of inspiration for the agricultural community in East Gippsland and beyond. By embracing sustainable practices and harnessing the power of ExcelCrop's innovative solutions, farmers can unlock the full potential of their land while safeguarding the future of farming for generations to come.
