Idaho-based dealer fills the cow tech gap between OEMs and on-farm needs

A prominent milking equipment dealer in Idaho’s Magic Valley near Twin Falls recently converted a former tractor dealership and equipment repair shop into its own hub for technology research and development. That company – Automated Dairy – has been in operation for 35 years and employs more than 150 workers in seven dealerships through Idaho, California and Nevada.

The company’s latest innovation is an automated teat preparation system called TurboSpray. The product has been on the market for 18 months, yet more than 200 systems have been installed across 85 dairies. The success of this latest innovation is hopefully one of just many more to come, says the team of engineers in the research and development department.
