Wisconsin dairy technology tour
The Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin are hosting three Dairy Technology Tours next week. Each day will feature three different farms ranging from 60 cows to 460 cows. Each has robotic milkers along with other robotic technologies including feed pushers, manure scrapers, calf feeders, rumen monitors and others.
Each tour will also have University of Minnesota Extension Dairy Specialist Jim Salfer on the bus to share details of his work with robotic milkers on 52 farms in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The busses load at 8:30 each day, depart at 9 and should be back by 5.
