Grass Technology CEO's thoughts on ZERO GRAZING

Jim Barron CEO of Future Grass Technology, gives a run on his farm he gives an insight into the system he is running on his farm. What inspired him to get into manufacturing zero grazers to help farmers get the most from the grass on their farm, which allows them to save on costs such as meal, and fertiliser enabling them to get bigger profit margin for their end product.

It's amazing how the invention of these machines makes harvesting easier

My friend bought one of these that was supposed to be fully refurbished...it was far from it and after no more than 50hrs work it has needed a lot of work. I would make sure you see what you are getting before handing over any money

What's the empty weight of your zg80 and zg100?

We have one great job, graze 8months of the year on avrage, less meal fed, lower silage acres required, most people top the fields after grazing anyway so the only extra fuel is from farm to field the 2 drum nower isnt a hard drive, we are zerograzing 6 mile round trip from the farm would be a long walk for the cows, bringing wet grass in to cows is nonsense they dont dry it before they eat it in the field and you can run more cows. They dont work on every farm but were it does it does well

Interesting video.

This got me interested, so you still let your cows be outside even when using zero grazing method? I’ve always dismissed the method because cows that can be outside are happy cows and happy cows produce more milk and I thought zero grazing was not letting them outside and bringing in the grass to them… Did i understad it right that its like a mix of both? (Sorry if my English isn’t on top i’m from Sweden)

All well and good if it’s dry enough to cut grass.

What about increasing use of diesel and labour.

[@maliktamimawan]

Grass technology is good but in the days of constant rain it's a headache.second fresh green grass no matter what kind contains a lot of moisture and protein content is very low so it gives less energy to the animal.

Sure glad i raise my own milk!

[@Esthergray62]

How about the beef job

[@DjDj-ww6rh]

Hope it is better quality than the Keenan he sold me

[@teresawalsh4114]
