The Melnor Water Timer Fertilizer company honors Lancaster County com grower NEW DANVILLE, Pa.- David H. McMichael, Lancaster R 6 was awarded first place for Pennsylvania and fourth place in the Eastern Division of the National Corn Growers Contest with 191.16 bushels. BOU-MATIC JUNIOR CHAMP DETACHER A non-electric, air powered full arm detacher utilizing a fully sighted flow sensor that accurately monitors milk flow. With development of gentle milkers and accurate flow sensors a milking machine take-off or detacher can reduce labor and drudgery of milking to make chore time much easier. Often it is the most efficient use of capital to free up one man to do more field work, etc. In addition to saving, labor during milking has been eliminated. Cows are milked consistently regardless who is doing the milking. Bou-Matic detachers accurately sense milk flow, shut the vacuum off and then gently remove the milker unit. Automating your parlor or flatbarn is a big decision but a forward looking decision. Automation can increase labor efficiency, improve udder health and make milking less of a chore. TRIAL DEMONSTRATION Every dairy barn is different-so is every herd of cows. There are also differences in milking management and habits. The best place to evaluate detachers is in your dairy, so we will install a detacher in your dairy for you to try. No obligation, no cost.
