Milk production in northern Victoria and the NSW Riverina during the 2019-20 season was down about 5 per cent compared to 2009-10 levels, according to Dairy Australia.Ĭompared to the highest production year during the past decade - 2014-15 at nearly 2.4 billion litres - production for this region during 2019-20 was down almost 34 per cent.
The Clymo's dairy business trajectory has run counterpoint to the northern Victorian and Australian industries.
"It was probably a bit confronting at the start for them, but now they're happy to sit back and watch it happen." "They like the growth, they like the progression," he said. So, in October, when the cows moved into a free-stall American-inspired fit out of an Entegra barn, Jade's parents were supportive of the change. Jade's parents, Trevor and Jan, who ran the northern Victorian dairy farm before Jade and his wife Belinda, also endorsed growth. Realistically, the concept of capping the number of dairy cows at their Calivil farm has never truly been considered. "Perhaps we should do it at some stage, but we never have." "It is not in our DNA to stay as we are, to put a lid on our herd size," he said. His business now milks 1500 Friesians, a herd expansion of almost 115 per cent in the past decade. Growth has driven the success of his family farm and underpinned his passion for the dairy industry. When it comes to business, Jade Clymo refuses to accept the status quo.
