On Monday I’ll be uploading several more pictures from the weekend plus I have some code improvements including adding multiple years to some of the historical aerial photo comparisons and a new interactive map viewer. Stay tuned for more.

Tie-Stall AMS Milking Robot by Milkomax | agronomybots
The economics of such a machine are completely nuts - a million dollar machine for a 50 or 100 head dairy in a tie stall barn but its a fascinating technological example using LIDAR sensors and advanced robotics. Could the technology ever become cheap enough to be used on tie stall dairies? Probably not but it's still a neat concept.

It is always amazing to see the ideas, innovation and compassion that come out during a crisis. Two weeks ago I did a bonus episode of the show about the “Dairy Drive Thru” that was being put on by the State University Of New York – Morrisville. After creating that episode I thought of the folks that I am familiar with in the dairy industry in my home state of Idaho – Dairy West. I sent the link of this episode to the CEO of Dairy West, Karianne Fallow, and told her that this seemed like a great way to help dairy farmers and the public during the pandemic. Karianne got right back to me and let me know that Dairy West already had their own program in place called “Curds + Kindness”. They were also obtaining dairy products and giving them away to the public as a way to keep dairy farmers from having to dump milk. She offered to come on the show and talk about the project, and I was very excited to profile this effort. On this episode of the Off-Farm Income Podcast I have a great conversation with Karianne about “Curds + Kindness”. She will break down how you can help, what locations that dairy products are being distributed at currently and how long this project will go on. This interview definitely made me proud of what is going on right in my own back yard!
With so many dairy farmers struggling to put food on their own table it’s great see how much they’re stepping up across the country to help neighbors in need. They always say those with the least are the most generous.
