Down here at @agrinetonline with Vincent Crowe having the chats 👌👌

Right farming folk looking for some advice. I am putting in a new parlour at home .. milk quality and efficiency are important considerations for me. Auto washer , feeders , cluster removers , air gates, drafting. It’s between Dairymaster or de Lavel? What do you think?

Update RE parlour: Thanks for all the tweets and messages.They were all much appreciated in the decision.A common trend across replies was service so I can now say we will be remaining customers of Coffey dairy services and Dairymaster.Spec as per last tweet plus cluster cleanse

Tanks ready to be poured during the week.

Say a few prayers. I’m sure there’s a few of these headed for Kilkenny today.

Moved cows into new cubicle shed yesterday. Milking parlour in progress.

Need to block area between dairy and milking parlour so my dairy is sealed. I would like to keep the height in the dairy . What are my options? Roller door going in front of bulk tank. Are the alternatives to pvc sheets with a timber stud?

Race to the finish! Hoping for a big week of progress next week!

My friend’s #almonds. No #CAwater for them this year. Thousands of acres are being removed in a few mile radius of our farm. We’re not immune. We’ll be taking out almonds and cherries this year, too. #CAdrought #CAwatercrisis #farms #food
