Biggest Challenge in Modernization(16) Working with the Contractors/Serving as General Contractor
(10) Deciding what system & number of cows would work best for my farm
(10) Budgeting & Financing for Expenses
(8) Milking in Existing Facilities During Construction
(8) Design of Milking Facility & Housing
(6) Cost Over runs
(5) Finding Good & Knowledgeable Contractor
(4) Manure Storage & Handling
(4) Confidence & Motivation to do it
(3) Permitting Process for Building/Expanding
(3) Getting Honest Opinions from Equipment Dealers
(3) Did too much of my own labor
(3) Changing the Management System of Feeding/Breeding/Housing
![Page 34: Newburg WI January 28, 2009 Mark W. Mayer, Dairy & Livestock Agent, Green County David W. Kammel, Biological Engineering, UW-Madison Wisconsin Dairy Modernization](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062619/55165912550346a2698b4ed4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What Would You Change?
(14) Wish we would have done the expansion sooner.
(11) Wish we would have made the parlor/freestalls bigger
(6) Start expansion at another site to allow for additional future expansions
(5) Spend more time planning and seeking help in design
(4) Start with new building and equipment right away
(4) Would not start building in the fall, start earlier in the year
(4) Design of Parlor
(3) Add a dry cow and calving facility
(3) Change from mattresses to sand for bedding
(3) Hire a more experienced and honest contractor
