Earlier this year, Weber farmers Trudy and Simon Hales won the 2020 Tararua Sheep and Beef Farm Business of the Year.

Trudy says farm management software can be confusing and from her point of view Cash Manager Focus is the way to go.

“From the entering and admin point of view it’s so much quicker and easier to find your way around! We were using Xero but switched to Farm Focus because we found coding, particularly using own our code names, so easy. And uploading files … those lines are super-fast in comparison!

‘Using a software programme designed by farmers for farmers makes all the difference!”
