It’s World Dairy Expo week!
Let me know if you'll be there too
I’ll be attending the annual show in Madison, Wisconsin, Oct. 2-5. (The show runs an extra day that I won’t be there.)

Hear how accurate, 24/7 heat detection helped this Wisconsin farm improve preg rates, simplify management and more. See cow monitoring in action.
This is the season when most companies launch their newest products. I’m excited to see several technologies while on the show grounds, including Isomark Health’s cow-side testing; Cowmanager’s new data dashboard; Nedap’s new data-crunching, cloud-based software; Ever.ag’s computer vision for maternity pen monitoring; SmaXtec’s new artificial intelligence capabilities; Ajinomoto’s new blood test for peripartum diseases; and DHI-Plus’ new mobile app built with edge computing compatibility.
Additionally, here’s the questions I’ll be asking many on the grounds:
Speaking globally, what areas of cow tech adoption are you bullish about? Bearish about?
Besides milk price and farm profitability, what do you believe is the next biggest impediment to producers’ adoption of cow technologies?
What does a company like yours need to do to continue accelerating cow tech adoption with your customers?
What cow technologies will you be focusing heavily on promoting in 2024?
If you’ll be at the show and have something new to show me or would like to just connect, give me a ring at (208) 329-8893 or drop me an email at cowtechreport@gmail.com. Hope to see you soon.
