  • Benchmark your team against industry standards and past performance, and hold them accountable.
  • Track downtime and lost cost when a machine such as a mower is idle.
  • Find improvement opportunities such as time wasted at refill stations.
  • Plan and organize all farm activities to direct resources where they are needed.
