16 Automated dairy farming
The Kieftenburg family of
Listowel has a leading edge
dairy farm with robotic
milkers and an automatic calf
feeder. They still work hard,
but they have flexibility from
rigid milking schedules.
24 Collateral damage
While beef got most of the
attention in the BSE crisis,
the pain continues for dairy
farmers long after the border
reopened to live beef trade.
The loss of the foreign heifer
business has hurt badly.
26 Re -inventing the farm
A farmer/consultant says
traditional farm markets are
mature and not growing. It's
time to look at alternatives to
diversify or add value to
reinvent your farm business
and earn a profit.
People: Tommy Cooper Award
Doug Eadie, president of the
Ontario Corn Producers
Association and a Ripley -
area farmer, received the
Tommy Cooper Award for
contribution to agriculture in
Grey and Bruce Counties.
