In Pennsylvania there is new technology when it comes to milking cows, it is all done by a robot. Each cow wears a collar with a bar code on them. The cow can come into the parlor at any time. The tag or collar will be scanned by a robot and they will be fed and milked appropriately. If the cow decides to come to the parlor more than twice in a day the robot will not feed them or milk them. The robot will literally kick the cow out. The robot is also able to change their feed according to the amount of milk the cow is producing a day. If there is anything wrong with the cow medically, the robot is able to call the farmer and notify them of the cow and of the situation. If there were something wrong with the robot, the robot will call the farmer on his cell phone and notify the farmer. This is said to be full proof, but is it really?
Could a school farm use this or is it too costly?
