  • “On Behalf of TCS Farms ltd we would like to thank you for your professional advice this last year particularly in setting up the farm feed plan. In our first year it is always difficult with so many variables and unknowns plus a drought in the Tutukau road area Reporoa. With your help we stuck to the plan and achieved incredible results on a low cost grass fed system. The results were amazing a 25 % increase in production and a 500 k improvement in net profit. This not only has kept the bank very happy but set us up for an even better year 2023” .

    -Neil and Leanne Innes-Smith, Circular Head, Tasmania

  • “Alexis brings a variety of ideas on how to operate and grow businesses based on his global dairy experiences. He has helped our farm to grow by 11% in milk production this season (2015-16) during one of the biggest droughts in Tasmanian history. Alexis consistently encourages us to be proactive and he challenges our thinking with his ‘can do approach.’ He has helped us in establishing a robust business in order to remain profitable and sustainable over the long term by looking into investing in home grown feed (i.e. summer crops and pasture renovation), irrigation, effluent systems and support block land development. Alexis has also assisted in enhancing our communication with our son who share farms (50/50) and us as owners of the land and infrastructure. Alexis taught us that we need to measure everything that moves, moos or grow in order to manage it properly. He believes that focusing on home grown feed and harvest and cost control are key factors in building resilience in dairy farm business, which is a philosophy we strongly agree with. We highly recommend Alexis’ services to any farmers who are open to being challenged and eager to grow and improve their businesses."
