Organization and efficiency

The GAEC LA FERME DES BARTHES is located in the commune of Labastide-Clairence in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department. Today, with 2.5 UTH, the GAEC produces 680,000 liters of milk, of which 300,000 liters are delivered to the local Bastidarra dairy and 380,000 liters to the Savencia dairy in Jurançon. The 62 Prim Holstein dairy cows are milked by robot, with an average production of 10,771 kg of milk at 39.7 TB and 33.8 TP. The cows are kept in stalls with cubicles. The UAA covers 80 hectares. For the future, the partners are planning to build a cheese dairy to produce soft cheeses.

GENETICS, THE X-FACTOR OF PROFITABILITY!

Eric FAYAN, Cédric FAYAN and Valentin BALAYE are partners in the GAEC de la Fayardaie in Hauterives (26), Drôme des Collines. While their humility means that they don't want to steal the limelight from the Facteur Cheval, who moves the crowds in this village, they don't mind being noticed for the excellent quality of their milk.

Limiting unproductivity!

Mathias and Jean-Pierre CHARRETIER farm 90 hectares in DUERNE (69), a commune at an altitude of 850 meters in the heart of the Monts du Lyonnais. They produce 700,000 liters of milk and sell 35 crossbred heifers and steers a year. 30 Ha of arable land are planted with corn, barley and temporary grassland, with the remainder in rotational grazing for dairy heifers. The furthest plots are reserved for butchering animals.
