Lely Trip

Last Tuesday Jesse and I, and a bunch of other farmers traveled to Woodstock, Ontario, to look at Lely robotic milkers. Victoria thought it was Woodstock, New Brunswick, and was upset that we didn't stop in. We did fly over her house on the way home, and saw lots of familiar landmarks from Fredericton to Jemseg.

We toured 6 farms, with 1 to 6 robots, and were well fed on both evenings that we were there. We saw some very nice barns, and got lots of ideas.

6 Robots.

Lely Juno for automated feed pushing. This would be great for school tours.

Lely Discovery for scraping manure through the slats in the floor.

A happy and stinky bunch of dairy farmers on the way home yesterday. They put us together at the back of the plane!
