Some testimonials from customers who have benefited from this service
"I recommend this service to everyone, it is very important to begin with a solid basis with your foreign worker since we will be seeing him for more or less 8 months. Omar helped us to get to know him better and get off to a good start! »
Stéphanie Lauzon, Kingsbury Farm, St-André-d'Argenteuil
"I really appreciate this service from Lactanet, it allows Alfredo to be more aware of everything related to milk production. It gave him confidence and allowed him to be more efficient in his work, which is very good for the farm. »
Christian Riendeau, Ferme Normand and Lucie Riendeau, Sainte-Martine-de-Beauharnois
"Maicol Sanchez received technical support and discussed with Omar. He learned that the time spent and good practices related to milking routine are very important in the management and finances of my herd. »
Maxime Montpetit, Ferme Mojac, Sainte-Martine
"Following Kevin Guzman's arrival, we were unable to explain certain concepts and techniques used on our dairy farm. Omar came to train our worker in his workplace. After his visits, we noticed a clear improvement. We will repeat this experience periodically. »
