Facilities Plan Promotes:
1. Labor savings
2. Natural ventilation
3. Surface drainage
4. Convenient materials handling
5. Space for expansion
6. Avoids Mistakes

What is the Advisor’s Role?* Learn to listen/read between the lines* Identify the family’s vision* Identify the short term goals* Help the dairyman recognize the multitude of options * Help dairyman learn more about viable options - Identify other advisors/consultants - Visit others to view and discuss - Provide reading materials - Encourage discussions with vendors* Identify benefits and limitations of viable options* Start the planning process

Steps to Dairy Modernization Write down goals Hone management skills Feasibility analysis
Reconsider and rewrite goals Develop business plan Develop facilities & farmstead plans and costs Check against feasibility analysis and goals Obtain financing Contract for facilities
Management Land Base Economic Goals still OK?
No
Yes

SOME PLANNING STEPS:
1. Establish Goals2. Learn Alternatives3. Discuss With Others4. Draw Farmstead Layout5. Stake The Site6. Drive The Site

WHAT IS A FARMSTEAD PLAN?
Scale Drawing - Plan View
* Topographic Lines*Buildings-
current- future*
Well(s)
* Manure Storage
* Feed Storage
* Drainage Channels* Streams
* Highways* Drives
* Utilities
* Sink Holes/Ledges
* Septic(s)
* etc.
* North Arrow

FARMSTEAD PLAN =
* Equipment Suppliers
* Lender* Contractor
* Utility Companies
* Subsequent Buyer
* Excavator* Regulator
* Partner(s)

Short Range Plan:Must be Compatible withLong Range Plan
This Month’s Decisions Have an Effect for 20 – 50 Years!
Planning for the Future:
![Page 9: The Foundations of Farmstead Planning Brian J. Holmes Extension Agricultural Engineer Biological Systems Engineering Dept. College of Agricultural & Life.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d1a5503460f949ef6b2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Overvalued facilities mayunnecessarily anchor youat an existing farmstead
Constraints of existing facilities may limit thetechnologies you can useunless you make majorchanges and expense.
Planning for the Future:

PLANNING FACTORS:
1. Adequate Water Supply2. Drainage3. Production Factors4. Climatic Factors5. Off Farm Factors

Ideal Farmstead Location* Center of Land Base
* Top of Hill
* Distant From Streams
* Distant From Neighbors
* Good Source of Groundwater
* Moderate-Heavy Soil Texture

Transition Facilities Needs:
1. Animal housing
2. Efficient milking
3. Feed storage/Efficient feeding
4. Manure storage - maybe

Steps to Avoid Excessive Costs:1. Establish facility needs for
10-20 year horizon
2. Establish facility needs forthe transition phase
3. Evaluate existing structures onthe basis of how they can meettransition and future needs
4. Compare initial and annual costsof remodel vs new construction
