Robotic milking is no longer a new concept to the dairy industry. I cannot imagine there are many farmers that have not been exposed to robots in one way or another.
Some things never change. The land, the clock, calendar and weather forecasts have always been the major influences in everyday farming.
One thing that has changed dramatically on the farm is the tractor. Today’s tractors and the engines that power them have evolved dramatically from the late 1800s, when mechanized traction equipment (powered by steam then gasoline) first arrived on the farm.
Don Penner hesitates when asked about the biggest advantage of the robot milkers in Benner Holsteins’ new barn. He hesitates not because of problems in the barn, but rather because he is not sure which feature brings the greatest advantage.
