A little extra grain in the mix, an ingredient that runs out sooner than expected, extra refusals at the bunk. On their own, these variances seem like one-off issues. Over weeks and months, the impact shows up in feed costs and herd performance.

You can't manage what you don't measure, and no where is that more true than in the commodity shed. With feed software like FeedComp, track ingredient inventory, mix consistency and feed costs in real-time, in a single system.

The dairy industry is at an exciting crossroads. There’s more technology and sensors on-farm collecting more data than ever before, giving producers access to insights that would have been hard to imagine just a decade ago. 📊

With artificial intelligence adding another layer to the conversation, there's a lot of curiosity about how it will support on-farm decision-making. Recently, Mark Moran, VAS chief product and technology officer, and Jennifer Stamey, VAS senior product manager, joined the Progressive Dairy Podcast to explore these questions and discuss what's ahead for dairy technology: https://hubs.ly/Q04xCj9B0

Few professions embody the spirit of Labor Day quite like the American dairy farmer. Thank you for your year-round dedication and commitment to your cows, people and communities.

What bottlenecks stand between you and a smoother harvest?

For Quantum Dairy, it was the same as many dairies – staffing the scale house, extra paperwork to keep inventories updated and limited hours in the day with labor already stretched thin.

When they decided to implement WeighComp, they gained more than just simpler workflows during harvest. They tapped into new efficiencies that continue to deliver year-round. Today, WeighComp saves them 6-8 hours after every harvest and gives them complete confidence in their inventory numbers in a single solution.
