The next round of the Dairy Cost Study program opened January 1, 2025. The Dairy Cost Study offers a comprehensive analysis for individual dairy operations in Alberta for the 2024 production cycle. The study provides producers a detailed economic report on their dairy enterprise, at no cost.
A primary goal for any business is to be profitable, minimize costs and seek efficiencies. "Having a deeper understanding of your farm’s production costs can enhance confidence when making active management decisions,” says Pauline Van Biert, research analyst with the Alberta government. Understanding the connection between cost and returns is essential for setting targets and improving your farm’s operation.
While you may already have performance reports for your farm, the Dairy Cost Study can offer a fresh perspective and give you the chance to compare your business against provincial averages. “By reviewing your own numbers, you can assess management options, identify high-cost areas and pinpoint potential opportunities for efficiency improvements. Once you have a clear understanding of your costs and returns, you can make more informed decisions and seize opportunities,” says Van Biert.
