CattleCo, I am not sure exactly what you mean when you say "private data warehouse," but let me make a couple of statements and then ask a question. Ok?

We have a lot of them.....Private Datawarehouses. NCAB is trying to create another one!
"First of all, I do not consider a benchmarking system to be just a data warehouse, but a benchmarking system can contain a lot of data - confidential, of course. And most of that data (except for individual company numbers) is available to all members who participate in the benchmarking study. Speaking from 20 years of experience in this field in agriculture, a lot of good information can be generated in a good benchmarking system that can help individual companies know where they need to make changes to consistently be in the Top Third (in terms of profitability), year after year which is the key to survival in commodity agriculture. "

BENCHMARKING IS GOOD... I agree 100%

Private Data Warehouse and Benchmarking are not really the same. Storing Data without "working the data" has no value........Benchmarking is "working the data" That is GOOD !
