 Thunder Bay, Ontario, Great White North | I've been using Milc ONE Feed for about two years, feeding a bit less than half the animals you have.
They have tiered pricing and I am at the lowest tier, $100 per month.
I love this program. It makes feeding the proper mixes a no brainer for the feeder, and managing ration or dry matter changes takes seconds.
We have had a few instances where we identified protocols not being followed by going back and looking at the mix data from filling loads. Having proof to show employees made correcting the problem simple and there was no denying the mistakes.
I bought cheap cellular enabled tablets for both the loader and the mixer truck. Have $15/month data plans on each one so that I can update rations instantly and also can monitor progress of each load as it is being mixed.
Have had a few minor issues and the support from Milc Group has been very good. They definitely understand farm realities and have been very timely in resolving the small issues we had.
The biggest benefit I have found is my mixes are much more accurate and consistent since we switched from paper sheets. Saves time and lots of data tracking both for each individual load and inventory.
I hate subscription based software as much as anyone but in this case I'm easily gaining at least 10x the cost in increased profit from using this program. |
