Our journey into 2025 has just begun, but from a business standpoint, dairy farmers are always looking ahead at milk prices, feed costs, and other farm expenses. These factors and many more affect a farm’s profitability and future viability. Changes throughout the year could greatly impact a dairy’s bottom line, but farmers can use the data we have available now to make decisions in the short term.
With a goal of helping producers project profitability on their dairies, veterinarian Kevin Hoogendoorn created an app called Zisk. Zisk is a Polish word for profit, and the app is designed to predict a farm’s profitability over the next 12 months. The Zisk report for 2025 predicts more dairy farm profitability this year compared to 2024.
