Join the UVM Extension Dairy Herd Management Team in collaboration with Stonyfield Organic for an in-person workshop and tour of two Franklin County dairy farms utilizing automated milking systems (robotic milkers).

This workshop offers a hands-on look at two different robotic milking setups. Farmers will share their experiences transitioning to automation, including key decision points, robotic milking unit selection, facility design and modification, herd management changes, and lessons learned throughout the process.

This workshop is free and open to all farms interested in learning more about AMS. Lunch to be included. Please register by Monday, August 18.
