Kent farm tour shows off new technology
Cow-milking, goat feeding robots and
Local farms showed off high-tech farming equipment during the tour, showing how modern technology advances are integrated into an age-old profession.
District of Kent councillor Duane Post is also chair of the Kent Agriculture Advisory Committee. He says the tour was a chance to see some of the ways the farming industry is evolving.
“Farmers are often kind of stuck in the barn so it’s a good opportunity to get the committee out…view other farms to see what they’re doing and how farms are changing as time goes on.”
At the Duncan family’s Bonnie Donne Dairy, the tour got to see the fully-automated “Lely” cow-milking robot in action.
