What Clients Say About Us?
KIND WORDS FROM MY LOVELY CLIENTS
Trioliet
“Milk production has increased and herd health greatly improved.”
— Harold & Diane Van de Kamp
Slurrystore
“We chose an above-ground SlurryStore tank for its maximum storage on the smallest footprint, and speed and ease of construction. Safety was also a big factor.”
“Top reasons for Slurrystore build
Takes up the smallest footprint on our property.
We found it very cost effective (comparable to other systems).
Works well with our current system allowing for minimal changes.
Meets all anticipated regulations, allowing us a choice as to when to fertilize.”
“Top three reasons for choosing Slurrystore
This tank will protect our groundwater.
This tank will minimize the amount of rain catch we have to dispose of.
This tank offers us the best form of safety to meet our family’s needs.
— Post family, Woodside Farms, Harrison Mills (2021)
Parlours
“Our 2x16 Parabone Milking parlour saves over two hours in milking time. Its open, cleaner cows are comfortable and it didn’t break the bank. We can easily add more cows, and along with the new barn, production jumped 4 kgs. You do the math! Cow Scout really improved monitoring the cows’ health and activity. We are really happy with how this turned out.”
— Clarence and Mike Deboer, Eagleview Farms, Delta (2019)
