Benchmarking is useful on various scales, and for both production and financial comparisons. Agri Stats allows for monthly benchmarking for swine producers, and currently has finisher and sow barns participating. Benchmarking requires continuous input of data, but producers can gain perspective on how their facility compares and where it can improve. Agri Stats can breakdown financial performance, so producers can see which area is behind. More general production numbers, such as pigs/sow mated/year, are more useful for comparison than highly detailed production numbers, as production numbers do not necessarily equate profit.
