Come to the Netherlands there are lots of farms with those robots!

Those robotic milking machines are amazing. You don’t really have to do anything except keep an eye on the process. Our cows always came in the milk house to be milked in the same order every time. We had a few that didn’t want to come in at all. Our best milkers were always the first in.

The cows appear very content. However, when I see how excited yours are when you let them out to graze, I would pay extra for my milk to let that happen. They deserve to have the freedom to do what they were born to do.

Tom love the robots but I always think they should go out for the months they can 👍

My uncle lets his cattle graze, and he has a milking robot and the feeding robots. His cows can decide by theirselves if they want to graze or stay in, it's fun to see how they come inside to be milked and then just go back to grazing or decide to take a nap inside instead.

How friggin cool was this?! Watching them queue up and milk without effort was amazing :: Definitely need more of these. Can't wait to see Germany :)

As a non farming person I found that really interesting, great what technology can do. Would love to see the big robot farm in Germany if you do manage that....thank you :)

What is wrong with me. I have watched Tom's farming videos for hours. My brain is going to explode from the amount of information needed to be a good farmer.

That is so impressive 😳 Things are changing fast now . GEA please send Tom to GERMANY to see the way you built those robots ❤️❤️❤️❤️

You are totally geeking out. Love it Tom!

35 years ago I was in dairy. I was the assistant herdsman for a 250 head herd, milking in a 12/12. I was impressed by automatic feeding and cup removal. My, how things have changed! And not starting the pumps at 4.15 am too... Brilliant stuff!

Had the pleasure of writing software for a cattle feeding robot as part of an internship this year. It's awesome to see the direction farm tech is taking

A fantastic example of when technology and science work together to improve productivity and overall health of the animals. Really enjoyed this Tom and thanks to Shaun Hartley for allowing you on his farm.

Tom. Incredible! Unbelievable! Indeed the future. The cows so content and clean. Yes to more about GEA. Shaun is a star! What an ambassador for farming and animal management. As for the Shed! Half the size of Lancashire! Brilliant. Thank you both for such an informative and indeed thought-provoking video. Again should be compulsory in schools. Keep up the superb work and for flying the UK farming flag! Stay Safe & well. Now i am going to watch for a third time!....

As someone who works in tech, but completely different sector, this was fascinating to watch!

Yes, you need to go to Germany and Ireland.....for your 'information gathering'.

That is seriously impressive. Would love to see other stuff about the automated stuff. Also so happy got some TP merch yes please!!!

Tom as a layman this was a most impressive tour to view, fantastic technology just the right amount of detail. Who needs Countryfile when there are people like you producing such professional productions like this. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming your a star!

To me it seems like the labour was still high and negatives were stuck inside for both human and cow's. Good technology though would like to see a more outdoor system.

Love seeing Tom get excited about something he loves even when there’s bits about stats etc I don’t understand 😆

This is amazing. Would love to see more when you get the opportunity to see other farms like this one. The cows automatically going in to be milked is mind blowing to me. You always look to the future which is great.

Looks like a lot of happy cows. Sounds like they have the radio playing in the shed. I wonder what the cows favorite tunes are?

No matter what fancy technology they have , your farm is far better in my opinion as what is special and comes over clearly from your videos is that you care about your cattle and love seeing them happy outdoors in the fields . More n more people want milk from cows like yours Tom . Keep promoting free range x

Never knew there was so much technology and work to keeping and milking cows. They seem so content and gentle too.

Been working on a Robot farm in Iceland for the last year. Best thing ever. The cows love them, and have a better quality of life and so do I. The herd health is amazing. it’s simple, and once you get your head around the robots and know I to fix them if they go wrong it’s even better. You can spend more time doing other jobs or having a normally ish life with robots.

I really like how the cows seemed chill...coming over for a pet...they aren't stressed at all...great to see such clean cows...this setup looks great...however I would like to see a system where it would allow the cows to graze outside in the warmer weather...feeling sunshine on your skin is not just good for humans, animals love it too...ever seen cats and dogs stretch out in the sun?...definite health benefits...Great video Tom, very interesting...

Shawn and GEA thank you and Tom, this wouldn't have made it to KZfaq without you. So, thank you Tom. I would like to see more of these GEA farms.

I know shaun personally, he's a lovely guy, heart of gold and has a great family.

That would be great to see Tom. I hope those trips come off mate.

I’m not a farmer but this was fascinating. Would love to see more.

I think Shaun is being very modest! Ultimately the farms performance comes down to his excellent management and stockmanship skills.

What a fantastic farm tour. Informative add Toms enthusiasm, the comfort of my own home, no travel and a cup of tea with milk not bought from a supermarket.

As regards numbers and stats, this has been a very informative video. I still find it hard to believe that his SCC is around 100,000 even though it has analysis each milking. Best video you’ve done recently Tom, top job

Love to see the German trip but don’t want you to risk your life traveling!

Fantastic! What a treat to be able to learn about this. Thank you for taking the time to film while you get an education on the system.

Fantastic. Congrats Sean, well done. Thanks for sharing Tom.

This is always pretty awesome to see! But to hear some cows life is spent inside a barn is heartbreaking, Tom I really love the way you & your dad's do things seeing those cows go graze is a beautiful thing they look so happy! 💖🇨🇦

Found this absolutely fascinating! Thank you for sharing and looking forward to seeing all the other opportunities in the future.

I would love to see more videos of robot farming. This was extremely informative and fascinating to see a glimpse into what farming in the future could look like!

Hi Thomas, i bought the GEA DairyRobot R9500/Monobox about 3 years ago. It has been a great help for succes! We are milking about 50 HF cows with 36kg milk a day with 3,2 visits in the Netherlands. I realy like you to visit the German factory and film this content ofcourse! Personally really like the GEA robot, and hope to see you soon with this technology!! Greetings Arjan van Esch

Very impressed by the calmness of the cows. I have seen a much bigger (550 cows) shed than this in NZ which was also pretty good. I am not convinced that zero grazing is always the answer, but in this very wet area it may be appropriate. In a drier climate some outdoor summer grazing might be better but cows have four hooves each and the bigger herds would tear the ground to ribbons. If housewives want cheap milk this will be the future, otherwise they will have to pay more.

the robots a good thing but i would want my cows out on grass fields in the summer

I love seeing EVERYTHING you do, so YES for Germany and Ireland. It is all so amazing. I'm not a farmer but always wanted to be. I drink A LOT of milk and make a lot of creamy desserts (and work it off growing veggies by hand). I love your energy and sense of humor, and your dad and everyone is great too. Thank you!

That silage thing we need hopefully u will get some robots Tom

Really interesting and informative! Very generous of this dairyman to open his amazing facility for this video. Would enjoy seeing Tom visit the factory where this equipment is manufactured.

Do it all, Tom. Chase every avenue like that, and make it happen; it will give you useful wider experience than at present and turbocharge your subscriber numbers!

Great video Tom, very informative. Would love to see more on this topic both local & abroad.

Thank you Tom for the insight into a tech farm. It would be great to see other ones of its kind from other countries. I can imagine the initial cost outlay for a farm like that be quite large. How long would it pay dividends to show back in black? The upkeep of the machines cost. Shaun is lucky to have a vet in the family for the upkeep of the health of the milkers. Not having that assistance would put a dent into the cost

Don't know, I'm sure it's the future, I'd miss the Spring let-out at your place Tom. Then again I'm old and things will change.

So Cool, Tom and the Ging need GEA Robots. But not at the expense of Heidi.

I’m a milk tanker driver in the south and your channel has given me a real insight into what goes on ,on a daily basis would love to see the Germany and more robots, what dairy do you sell your milk too thanks Sean.

This is incredible! Great video Tom. I find it fascinating seeing what goes on behind the scenes. Can't wait to see the trip to Germany and one of these beasts turning up on Pembertons Farm!!

Wow, the cows going in to milk on their own is amazing ! I never would have thought that, but they're so smart it makes total sense. Seeing a full robot farm in Germany would also be really neat ! It's something to consider and maybe plan for in the future. Right now i'd say don't fix what isn't broken if you guys are doing okay right now, the temptation of new tech is always that- temptation- but then you gotta look at the numbers to see if it's worth it.

Wow I didn't even think this was something that existed or was possible. Technology is amazing.

Thank You Shaun for letting us see your farm.

Tom this was brilliant and very interesting. So pleased GEA invited you to this new set up and Shaun showed you round. This is some set up and would be nice if you and the Ginge could have a set up like this some day. I would love to see the factory and other farms to Tom if you get the chance to go. Great video Tom

Brilliant tom and finally managed to order myself some merch treated myself early for xmas keep up the hard work buddy

Heck yeah we wanna see the big ones in other countries! Also would love to see ya here across the pond in the USA Tom! Be proud to have ya sir! 🍻 mate!

A great video. The explanation of not only the robot milking, but almost more importantly, the management that can improve so many parameters of the dairy is well done. Yes, when possible, it would be nice to see more dairies and the company build.

Y'all are just AMAZING! Thank you for YOU being YOU!! YAAESS for tours whenever you get the chance!!

Wow! I have never seen these robot milkers, very interesting.

Love watching things like this definitely the way forward! Would love to see how it’s made etc!

Thanks for sharing, really interesting farm. Would enjoy seeing anything you can share with this technology. I think the most striking part was how friendly and happy the cows appeared to be. Stay safe, wishing you and your family the best.

Great vid Tom, I think you have a future in T.V you’re a natural at interviewing.

Fire on and see it all! Coming from a Scottish hill farm (massive area/small head count) seeing the what I think it the complete opposite is fascinating

His cows are calm and friendly

Yes Tom, we would love to see as much about robots as you can manage

Hi Tom, what an outstanding video today. As someone who has been about dairy farms most of my younger life but been away for the past 40 years, it was great to see how technology has made the management and welfare move forward, Also top marks for your presentation and video skills! Keep them coming and I would love to see more from Germany.

Love the "ginge" be careful, it's new to me. ha ha ha... Interesting to see automation in milking. Scary what they can do with robots.

It's really cool to see your excitement for the technology and all the ways it could be useful to you.. Not a farmer, but loved this video!! So Interesting! Def Wanna See Germany!!

Yes. GEA. Please bring Tom to Germany. Would love to see more of the robots. That was a great shed.

Love to see the robots being made & especially other robot farms. Thanks

Incredible use of technology. Cows were very chilled and friendly

That’s an amazing set up. I feel abit sorry for the cows though not being able to go out

It be lovely to see you & your father do all of them ideas together it be a massive great memories to have with eachother

Thats really cool! When I was a little girl, my grandparents were still milking by hand. They had a heard of about 75 dairy cows. As I got a bit older, they went to milk machines, then they were still having to lug heavy milker cans to the bulk tank, but they could then milk 2 cows at once, 1 on each side of the milker. And had to be connected, and disconnected, cleaned, etc in between each milker use and in between cows. They were then at about 100 cows. When I was in High school, they switched to having a vacuum milk system that directly dumped all of the milk directly into the bulk tank by the tube. At that point, they were milking about 200 head. You could see the entire milk lines from the stantion areas to the bulk tank because the lines were all clear, you could watch it move from the milker on the cows all the way until it got into the bulk tank. The milkers still had to be cleaned in between each set of cows, but then at least, it was ONLY the actual milker parts, that were much smaller than the ones that attatched to the top of the milk cans. They still had to wash all of the cows by hand prior to milking twice a day. This system would have been a DREAM come true for them! Im so tempted to restart in the (family) dairy farming buisness! I wonder if it would be a good idea, here in the US. Any info or ideas? Thanks in advance.

Is it me or are more and more dairy farmers in Tom's general vicinity beginning to look like younger versions of his Dad!?? lol,great video please keep them coming :).

Wish My dairy farm was like that would be amazing to you in that set up

Tom, thanks for taking us along to see the robots and the cow shed. Looking forward to whatever you want to tour and can get an invitation to tour. P.S. you look good in the Volvo (but than again your main transport is the Hurlyman).

Seriously enjoyed this Tom!! Loved the automated stuff!!

I’m so early that I just wanted to say we love your vids Tom

When seeing a setup like that and even your own were they come in of their own accord to be milked I can not see how there are still people who believe they are forced

Your interview technique is good. More of this type of thing adds a little more variety to your channel

Thank you Sean, wonderful setup. I’d like to see the training of the cows to the system at the start, what it involves. And love to see where they are built and another farm with them in use.

What a brilliant video. Just amazing how automated a farm can be and how relaxed the cows were. German video would be very interesting 👍

Always interesting to see the latest technology, I'd be scared to see his overheads for all the equipment & buildings.

Yea go for it Tom, would love to see more sheds like it!

Tom, absolutely fascinating, as a retired dairy farming, it was so enlightening. Yes Germany sounds good for the future. Thanks so much. c

Wow this is different from the tech down here in Somerset and the sheds are massive compared to our sheds too

When buying robots also ask about back up as if it brakes down your cows still need to be milked. It would be good to look at more brands.

Found this really interesting.Was brought up on a farmbut not a dairy one. Did visit a relatives dairy which was a parlour like yours which was interesting as a kid. This is just taking it to a whole new level. Loved the way that the cows were waiting to enter the milking area without any assistance. The feeding robot is a great idea for keeping the feed close to the cows. Keep up the great work Tom and would love to see more on this if you get the chance to go to GEA in Germany.

WOW the GEA robots are unreal..would be awesome to see that put in your farm..would be so much easier for you all..would be an awesome learn for Heidi also. what a robot,,plus the clean up one and the rolling food pusher backer,,lol..I LOVE TO SEE THAT ON YOUR FARM FOR SURE..HAPPY THANKS GIVING to you all

Bought some merch Tom looking forward to get it for Christmas

Is the big one down south near the Tor? Apparently that is a fantastic set up!

Loved this video Tom, it’s great to be able to get out and see other farms 👏🏻

I'm a beef guy in the USA but had to watch this, very interesting. Thank you Tom!

Would be great to see you going over to Germany and seeing what the other farms are like!

Tom hasn't anyone ever told you you're ginger yourself?! 😂 You throw that word around like like not part of the club 😂

Very good to see. Extremely impressed by the fact the young ginger guy knew every aspect of that farm, his cows look impeccable. He should be proud. I have said for many years that farms like this are the future for profitability. Good luck to the guy. 👍

I think time is flying by so fast that we need people like you to show and tell the world . Many Many thanks for You love granny 89..
