The Innovation award has been running for four years and covers new products developed for farming. The awards were judged by Alastair Philip, former Director of Agriculture at Askham Bryan College near York, machinery expert Malcolm Gill, and Bedale farmer Trevor Johnson.
The Judges particularly commented the 5-10% increase in feed intake and subsequent yield increase. They also liked the safety features and the fact that the DeLaval OptiDuoTM won't get lost if it moves away from the induction line.
Congratulations to Rhona Millar, District Sales Manager VMS, and James Beever, Technical Support Specialist, who presented the product.
