At Vir-Clar Farm they have been able to reduce the feeding time by about 2 to 3 hours a day by letting automation work in their favor. Grant Grindstead: “We looked at ways to improve the accuracy, be more precise and to improve the efficiency in our feeding. It’s amazing to see the accuracy and precision that we are able to accomplish today. Our feeding plan is set and the Solomix stationary mixers take over from there every morning. We got a 3 year payback because we are able to be accurate and precise every single day.”
