This industry-leading event emphasizes profitable dairy production while maintaining a balanced lifestyle.Pragmatic and Profit
Driven
We believe in simple systems that deliver real results. Our focus is on grass-based, low- input milk production that’s proven to generate profit without over-complicating life on the farm. “Keep it simple. Make more money.”Evidence Led and Open
Minded
We don’t chase trends. Instead, we follow the facts. Our community values open debate, healthy challenge, and clear-headed decision-making based on evidence — not opinion. “If it’s not backed by results, we’re not interested.”Farmer First and
Fiercely Independent
We support farmers in thinking clearly and independently. Positive Farmers provides information and insight, not prescriptive agendas. We call it like we see it. “Listen to farmers tell the truth. Ignore the top-down agenda.”Low-Stress and
Lifestyle Focused
Profitable farming shouldn’t come at the cost of well-being. We promote systems that reduce stress, free up time, and help farmers enjoy the life they’re building — not just survive it. “Profit is pointless if you’re exhausted, broke, or never home.”Profit Without Burnout
Smart farming focuses on doing more with less — fewer inputs, better timing, and sharper decisions. That means higher profits with lower stress, not more cows or longer hours.Grass to Gold
By using data, tools, and good planning, farmers can turn every blade of grass into real income — maximising utilisation and reducing waste. That’s smart, low-cost, grass-rich profitable farming at its best.Lifestyle and Legacy
Smart farming helps build systems that are sustainable for families, not just businesses — giving you more time for what really matters and helping the next generation succeed.Helping Your Farm Business

Farming Well
Means Living Well
In recent years, we’ve embraced the importance of
personal health, both physical and mental — by making it
a core part of the Positive Farmers Conference.
We believe that smart decisions on-farm should also
consider their impact off-farm — on personal well-being,
family life, and relationships. That’s why we’ve dedicated
sessions to exploring balance, mindset, and sustainable
ways of working, ensuring that success in farming doesn’t
come at the cost of health or home life.
Labour-Efficient Milk Production That Supports Your Lifestyle
Positive Farmers is an independent network supporting grass-rich,
profitable, and sustainable dairy systems since 1999.
