Uely-3000: desk jockey for farmers.

Get back outside.

The workspace for the farm: computes with your numbers, cites official sources, and writes the documents farm life produces.

Sources Uely-3000 works with: among others:

  • Agroscope
  • feedbase
  • BLW
  • AGRIDEA
  • CliniPharm
  • Fedlex
  • Strickhof
  • fenaco
  • Schweizer Bauernverband
  • IP-Suisse
  • Swissmilk
  • swissherdbook

What Uely-3000 does for the farm.

01 / Compute

Works the numbers for you.

Feed ration against price and your own stock. Break-even of a new crop. The inventory valued at a cut-off date. Uely computes with your numbers and your constraints. Formula and inputs in plain sight.

I can only stock one protein balancer. Which one minimises cost across the start and production phases combined?
Uely-3000@flo Example
Approach
Effective APD = min(APDE, APDN): law of the minimum
One compromise type for both phases is permitted (AGRIDEA)
Pearson square: PAF share = 100 × a/(a+b)
Cost = Σ days × kg AF × blend price/100
Check: (APDN − APDE) ≥ −1 g per MJ NEL
Inputs
  • Nrum −0.35 / −0.55 (start / production) : own feeding plan
  • 60 / 255 feeding days = 365 − 50 (dry) − 60 (start) : AGRIDEA publication
  • 2.0 / 1.5 kg balancer feed per day : own feeding plan
  • PAF1 77.40 · PAF2 70.00 · PAF3 55.70 Fr./dt, Nrum +0.25 / +0.43 / +0.54 : AGRIDEA publication
Result

PAF3 rapeseed meal:soybean meal 1:1: 242.65 Fr. per cow and year

39 % PAF share in the start, 51 % in the production phase. The textbook pair PAF2 + PAF3 costs 251.30 Fr.: the compromise is cheaper because PAF3 has the highest Nrum at the lowest price. 295 Fr. saved across 34 cows; APDN check +3.8 / +5.8 g within tolerance.

Uely does not act on its own: you release the ration. The guidance itself says such applications are ‹not practicable by hand›.

02 / Sources

With a source or not at all.

Every figure in chat is numbered and linked: Agroscope's feedbase, current ordinances, industry reference figures. You can open any of them.

What is one extra hour of labour worth to me in which calendar week?
Uely-3000@flo Example
Approach
max Σ DBᵢ·xᵢ: gross margin across the plots
s.t. labour hours per week ≤ capacity, Σ area ≤ 12 ha, potatoes ≤ 3 ha (rotation)
Shadow price per week = objective(+1 h) − objective
Inputs
  • Potatoes: GM 13'460 Fr./ha = 400 dt × 52.15 Fr. − 7'400 Fr. : industry reference figures · own accounts
  • Feed wheat: GM 1'240 Fr./ha = 60 dt × 37.00 Fr. − 980 Fr. : industry reference figures · own accounts
  • Farm-shop vegetables: GM 6'700 Fr./ha = 9'800 Fr. − 3'100 Fr. : own accounts
  • 60 / 30 / 90 / 35 h in weeks 18 / 28 / 36 / 40 : own work plan
Result

210 Fr./h in week 36: 6.6 times the standard wage of 32.00 Fr.

In weeks 18, 28 and 40 the hour is worth nothing. Optimum: 3.0 ha potatoes, 8.1 ha wheat, 0.9 ha vegetables → 56'580 Fr. Decomposition: 210 = (6'700 − 1'240) ÷ 26: each hour yields 1/26 ha of vegetables instead of wheat. Harvest help in week 36 pays up to 210 Fr./h.

A model with farm averages: the decision is yours.

03 / Paperwork

The paperwork does itself.

Every night, drafts are waiting: the briefing, documents coming due, the updated farm shop with its public page. Sending a finished invoice is one click. Work plan and team run along.

Farm handover on May 31: value the entire stock.
Uely-3000@flo Example
Approach
Mid-year: value = prior year + (valuation year − prior year) × 5/12
Fr./kg linear between weight brackets, label premium interpolated likewise
Fattening steer 380 kg: 6.0083 Fr./kg × 380 kg × (1 + 22.17 %) = 2'789.27 → CHF 2'790
Table values are already sale proceeds − 5 % for risk and marketing
Inputs
  • 6 fattening steers Natura-Beef at 380 kg : own herd
  • 4 fattening cattle Swiss/PrimBeef at 445 kg : own herd
  • 22 cows, unit price 2'800 → 3'000 Fr. : industry reference figures
  • 180 grass silage bales at 7 dt · 140 dt ventilated hay : own stock · industry tables
Result

CHF 106'095 inventory value at May 31: animals 91'690, stocks 14'405

Rounded to CHF 5 per animal, as the reference figures require.

Deviating values need a solid justification (commercial law). You confirm before anything is filed.

What farms say.

I used to spend two more hours at the desk in the evening. Now Uely handles most of it in the background: I just take a quick look.
Thomas M.: Dairy Farming, Canton of Bern
The handover in spring: Uely valued the stock and delivered the inventory as a document. I only proofread it.
Martina S.: Cropping and farm shop, Seeland
Quotes, invoices, job scheduling: Uely keeps track so I can focus on the assignments.
