How many times have we been at a farm show or in the farming public and asked some sort of leading question such as, “Have you ever thought about robots for your farm?” and gotten the response, “Yea maybe when they make them free!”, or “Hi, would you like to sign up for this raffle?”, and gotten, “What are you giving away? A free robot!”. Well, I am excited to share that you asked, and Lely is here to grant your wish.
Introducing: The Way to Dairy Award. From now until June 30, 2018, you can apply to win a grand prize of either a FREE Lely Astronaut or a FREE Lely Vector. In order to qualify, farms must submit the application along with an essay, two letters of recommendation, and up to three farm pictures. Throughout the year farms will be narrowed down to four finalists. Each of these finalists will host Lely at their farm to film a video of their farming practices. After a thorough search for the best farm in North America, Lely will finally notify the winner on December 6th, 2018.
