“If we can run this farm as a business, we can get the lifestyle we’re looking for. If we look at it as a lifestyle, the business could collapse financially.” In this episode of Cow-Side Conversations, Ron Wenger of Hollowacres Farm LLC in Franklin County, Pennsylvania opens up about the complex process of treating their 275-cow dairy farm as a business and not just a lifestyle. Emphasizing the importance of remaining business-minded, Ron describes the slow and steady improvements they have made over the years with reproduction, herd health and longevity, cull rate, maximizing their facilities, and employee management. With efficiency and profitability being their two core goals, he also shares the different enterprises they have to take the pressure off their dairy operation, especially during downturns.
