Dairy Farm Technology
Mike Bell – Maryland Cooperative Extension, Carroll County
August 2005
Mike Bell will speak about the International Exposé on Automated Milking Systems - Real World Experience in the Netherlands, Denmark, and California. Visually experience the latest technological advancements currently being utilized globally to milk the world's dairy herd. While this is not the way grandma and grandpa milked, it isn't R2D2 or C3PO, either. Cows are milked when they want, and as often as they want… well almost. Generally, cows are milked with this type of system 2.6 - 2.9 times per day, 365 days a year. Our cows have mooved into the 21st century. Join us for a Real Seal, Got Milk experience.
