Jonny Russell - Waikato

“Before we changed to FIL we had a shocking season, with 15 demerits. We decided to make the switch, and it’s been a grade free year, this year.”

Dairy farmer Andrew Sillis switched to FIL last season on the back of 15 demerit points in the previous season. The farm has now been grade-free for a year.

Andrew Sillis - Waikato
