How Dairy Farming works in SkillScorer
Score
Each farm worker in a property is scored on the Dairy Farming skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank farm workers, compare two side by side, or compare your properties against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Dairy Farming skills need attention. Reports also follow each supervisor's property.
