CF2000 (Clutha Farms 2000), and now NZFT2000 (New Zealand farm
technology 2000), make big changes in sheep farm management and business
skills available to the individual farmer on his own farm in easily
understood, easily workable, and low cost form. The basis of management
changes has changed from those based on traditional subjective and often
anecdotal information, to a management system where decisions are made
on factual timely information backed by latest technology and business
abilities.
