| description | The economic conditions for Swedish dairy farmers are constantly changing. The numbers of
producers are declining and the economic conditions for dairy production are weakening
debilitating. To improve the economic situation for a farm a hired contractor is a possible solution since previous studies show that machinery cooperation may be beneficial for the farmers.
The aim of this study is to examine the possibility for farmers to cut costs by hiring a
contractor for harvesting silage. A comparison between using own machinery and hire a
contractor is the starting point of this study. Another aim is to discuss the farmer's decision process when achieving today's situation and to determinate what factors affect their decisions.
The study is based on cases selected from four farms that today have chosen not to or only to some extent, hire a contractor for harvesting silage. Two farm plans have been established for each farm, one with the present situation and one where the changes when a contractor is hired are considered. These farm plans are the starting point for the economic comparison between the farms. Each farm was visited and the farmers were interviewed. The interviews were divided into two parts where information about the farms current operation and underlying factors for the decision making, where collected.
The calculations of how the economic situation for the examined farms would change if a
contractor is hired when harvesting silage show only a marginal effect. For three of the farms would the calculated result differ from today's situation with up to 6 000 SEK. One of the farms would get a significant detoriation in the economic result since current machinery is used for harvesting silage at neighbors and a change would lead to a decreasing income.
The most decisive factor for the examined farmers to use own machinery for the silage harvest is that they want to have control over the production process. A delayed of harvest time could affect the quality of the fodder is considered as the biggest threat with a change of production processes. Some kind of change of the current operation is however considered by two of the farmers in the future. They perceive a substantial advantage of the liberation of time they will face. This time may be used for some other income generating activity at the farm. |

Antalet mjölkproducenter kännetecknas av en nedåtgående trend liksom de ekonomiska förutsättningarna för att bedriva mjölkproduktion. För att förbättra den ekonomiska situationen på ett lantbruksföretag kan inhyrda maskintjänster vara en möjlighet då tidigare studier visar att ett maskinsamarbete ger ekonomiska fördelar. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka eventuella kostnadsbesparingar för mjölkproducenter vid anlitande av en maskinring vid skörd av vall. I studien görs en jämförelse mellan att äga maskinerna och att anlita maskinring. Studien syftar även till att analysera lantbrukarnas beslutsprocess för att förklara hur de uppnått dagens situation och vilka faktorer som har varit avgörande för deras beslut. Studien bygger på fallstudier av fyra lantbruk som idag inte, eller endast i liten skala, har någon kontakt med en maskinring vid skörd av vall. För varje gård har två driftsplaner upprättats, en för den nuvarande situationen och en med hänsyn tagen till de förändringar som uppkommer vid inhyrda maskintjänster. Dessa driftsplaner ligger till grund för ekonomiska jämförelserna mellan de två alternativen. Varje lantbruksföretag har besökts och lantbrukaren har intervjuats. Intervjun är uppdelad i två delar där information om företagets nudrift och bakomliggande faktorer av lantbrukarnas beslutsfattande samlats in. Beräkningarna över hur den ekonomiska situationen skulle förändras om en maskinring anlitades vid skörd av vall visar endast på en marginell ekonomisk effekt. Resultaten av beräkningarna visar en förändrad arbets- och kapitalinkomst på upp till 8 000 kr för tre av de undersökta lantbruken. Ett av de undersökta företagen skulle få en betydande ekonomisk försämring då de nuvarande maskinerna används för legokörning åt andra lantbrukare vilket leder till ett betydande inkomstbortfall vid en förändring. Den mest bidragande faktorn till att de undersökta företagen idag, till största del, använder egna maskiner vid vallskörden är att de vill ha kontroll över produktionen. En försening av vallskörden med försämrad foderkvalitet som följd betraktas av samtliga lantbrukare som ett hot vid en förändring av driften. Någon form av förändring av den nuvarande driften övervägs dock av två av lantbrukarna i framtiden. De ser att det finns förtjänster i att leja bort denna del av verksamheten då de anser att den tid som idag förbrukas vid vallskörden kan användas i någon annan inkomstbringande del av verksamheten. 2006-12-01 Other NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/10839/1/hellberg_p_170925.pdf Hellberg, Peter, 2006.
