Learn How to Integrate RFID Tags At Expo
Identification is a crucial part of management on a dairy. Radio frequency identification, RFID, tags are growing in popularity because of their versatility and flexibility. Maximizing use and incorporating the tags into management systems can be a struggle. One farm that has been able to successfully implement integration of these tags is Fetzer Farm, Inc. It is owned and managed by the Fetzer family including brothers Paul, Steve and Joe with their mom, Betsy. Fetzers recently expanded and are milking 1,250 cows and working 1,750 acres of corn and alfalfa. The farm became involved with RFID tags through a program with the Wisconsin Livestock Identification Consortium two years ago. Currently, the entire milking herd has tags and readers have been installed in the new parlor an d at the auto sort gate.
