Robots Hard at Work on the Dairy Farm

http://www.mda.state.mn.us About 20 Minnesota dairy farms are now using robots to do their daily milking chores. One such farm is the Johnson Dairy Farm near South Haven, MN, where four high tech robots milk 220 cows every day. Learn why dairy farmers are now using robots and get a tour of how these robots efficiently get the job done!

Minnesota Agriculture in the Classroom (MAITC) is a unique public/private partnership based at the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. The program's educational materials and programs are designed to help busy educators integrate agriculture into the core K-12 curriculum. Resources include the popular student AgMag and AgMag Jr.

When I was 14 I did everything on the farm, I milked the cows on my own, in weekends I was alone, I did all the tractor work, in that time a 14 year old boy did about the same work as the bigger guys.
