A farm accountant says he is getting more calls for help from dairy farmers forced to review budgets because of the lower payout.

Dairy farmers must review their budgets line by line says DairyNZ economist Matthew Newman.

For the next couple of years, some dairy farming challenges will be a reality.  It will be a slog for some, financially and psychologically. 

Federated Farmers say sharemilkers urgently need to go through partial budgets with their farm owners.

Leading a discussion after the Groves and Lincoln presentations, DairyNZ consulting officer Caleb Strowger asked what is being retained, reduced, deferred or removed from budgets this season.

Much comment surfaces in the media about how much farmers should be paying staff and whether they are paying enough.
