A Rosedale dairy farm fights inflation with efficiency
Sarah Sache owns West River Farm in Rosedale, B.C., with her husband, Gene Sache, and brother-in-law, Grant Sache. She is also vice chair of the board at BC Dairy.
Efficiency is key when running any farm, especially when inflation rates have skyrocketed over the last few years. The board, all dairy producers themselves, knows firsthand the issues dairy farmers across B.C. face with the inflation rates, and it’s not exactly what you’d expect. Another practice includes breeding their most efficient cows, which results in more milk from fewer cows.
As the cows are fed a healthy diet, they produce manure which goes back into fertilizing their fields and growing silage crops for the animals to feed on.
