The calving and lambing season has started for most of the
country. This means the big wave of new customers getting
their software needs for financial and farm management software
sorted before the start of the season is quieting down.
Most farmers are settling in for the busiest period of the
year; calving/ lambing followed by breeding. Those that have

There has been a lot of interest in farm management software
(mapping, recording and pasture management) in the past month,
making it hard to get back to everyone in time.
The delivery of some plate meters is running behind as stock
was depleted very rapidly and new stock has to be manufactured.
The wait will be around two weeks, which it not that bad...
