Fifth-generation farming family, the Rowes, made the final six in the 2024 NMR/RADDF Gold Cup award for 2024 with their 450-cow herd in Cornwall

Moving from a conventional parlour to three milking robots is helping one Staffordshire farming family boost milk yields and relieve workloads

At an open day hosted by the National Beef Association South West in conjunction with Lely, attendees heard how automation has helped accelerate finishing times on a Devon farm

Robotic slurry scraping and collection are relatively new concepts, but for the right housing layout they can deliver savings and improved cow health

Lely has introduced a sand flushing system to its robotic manure collectors to make it easier for dairy farmers who bed on sand

Adjusting robot access times for cows across the herd has helped to drive milk yields, particularly from early lactation cows, for Lancashire producers Steven and Tracey Holden.

Choosing to make its own silage, a Wiltshire farm puts 182 hectares into the clamp each year using a Lely Storm 130P trailed forage harvester.
