Lely requires that dairy farmers who adopt its robots commit to letting their cows move freely between milking, feeding, and resting, as well as inside and outside the barn, at their own pace.

There are two Lely robotic milkers in the barn, an automatic alley manure scraper, an overhead solid separation distribution system and a Lely Juno automatic feed pusher.

Fisher & Thompson will have exclusive rights to sell and service Lely robotic milking equipment in New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and eastern and central Pennsylvania, mostly south of Interstate 80.
