Robots hard at work at Rhodri Lewis’ Tyfry Farm, St Georges in the Vale of Glamorgan

Join us as we talk through the role Lely robotics have played on this all year round calving grassland farm near Cowbridge.  Rhodi talks about why he got interested in the Lely Astronaut 

and how he has seen his milk yield from his pedigree Holstein Friesian cows leap from 7500 litres to 10,000 litres in their first year of operation.

 

Jonathan Evans from Berry Hill

Jonathan Evans from Berry Hill, Newport, introduced automated scraping and feed pushing, with two Lely Discovery 120 Collector slurry vacuums and a Lely Juno Flex, both machines have enabled many benefits. Added together, those benefits are scheduled to pay for the robots within two years. Listen to Jonathan’s story here.

Adrian Windsor, Introducing robotic milking

Introducing robotic milking on his 240-acre unit has given Adrian Windsor the chance to improve his grassland management… improving both the quality of his grass, his silage, and the cost-efficiency of his British Friesian cows.

Farming a mixture of owned and rented land at Fforest Farm, Whitland in Carmarthenshire, he was spending up to eight hours a day in the parlour milking, and says he had no time for managing grass growth or grazing.  Now he’s invested in robotic technology he feels he’s gone ‘up to the next stage’ and can see a 100% improvement in what he’s doing.
