Farm.

The US dairy industry of 2030 will be highly automated, and data driven through Artificial Intelligence analysis. Data will be collected through individual cow health metrics systems, cow geo-positioning, automated milking parlors, camera Artificial Intelligence, and data driven feed technology.

The need of The Hjerpe Fellowship

The dairy farm of the future will be even more cow-centric than in the past, recognizing the cow as its key to future success through focusing on genetics and genomics, thereby producing a healthier, more disease-resistant and more efficiently productive cow.

The future farm will achieve all of this while creating an additive, diversified income through renewable energy, ecosystem services, organic fertilizer production as well as through societal-benefitting ecological and biodiversity state and federal programs.
