What our farmers are saying
Jim Booth
Jim Booth is a second-generation dairy farmer who embraced technology by becoming an early adopter of DeLaval milking robots. Eleven years on and he has updated his robots, becoming one of the first farmers to make the shift from old to new. He replaced two DeLaval VMS Classic robots with two new V310 models and immediately saw increases in yield, reductions in somatic cell count (SCC) and reduced milking times.
Home Farm
Paul and Elaine Smith farm in Crosten near Lancashire. After 32 years of milking the herd across two farms, the family decided the way they farm needed to change. The family made the decision that robots would be the way forward for the family.
Ross Johnson
5th generation dairy farmer, Ross Johnson, is using milking robots with a grazing system. Since installing the robots in February 2021 he has seen milk yield rise by 300 litres per cow and is expecting to reach 8000 litres per annum in 2023.

OptiDuo™ pushes up milk yield in Shropshire
Howard Edwards, having utilised the Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF) to install a DeLaval OptiDuo™ robot in his new shed, has experienced increased milk production, estimating a rise from 9,500 to over 10,000 litres annually, along with a notable improvement in cow behaviour and health due to reduced competition and enhanced forage accessibility. The OptiDuo™, equipped with Adaptive Drive technology, not only automates feed pushing but also refreshes feed, contributing to higher feed intake and milk yield, while its quiet operation ensures cow comfort and safety.
