360 RAIN is running at Carlotte Ag! This unit is running on hog manure & has some unique personal touches to it, including the green lights! This feature was added mainly to see the machine while running at night, but we think it looks neat! Congrats to the Brubacher family!

New Song Dairy’s new build progressing well! This project will feature a refurbished Lely Collector C1 manure vacuum along with a refurbished Lely Astronaut A4 milking robot and Central Unit. #Grandriverrobotics #Lely

“The investment mattered,” Jason Baus said. “But the return mattered more.” Based on production gains, feed savings, and labor flexibility, Baus estimates the system delivers at least a two-pound milk production increase per cow per day. Read more: hubs.ly/Q048Xh8_0

Another 360 RAIN Start-up we recently did was at Cedar Villa Farms. This machine is getting some of that nice liquid hog manure out! 🐷💩💦 #Grandriverrobotics #360RAIN
