German dairy farm rebuilds with high-tech robotic milking after substation move
A dairy farm in Nordermoor, near Elsfleth, has been completely rebuilt after relocating to make space for a new substation. The Töllner family used compensation funds to create a high-tech operation, featuring some of the latest advancements in dairy farming.
The move came after the original farm site was required for a substation project. In return, the Töllner family received compensation, which they reinvested into their new facility. A large portion of the funds went into constructing a state-of-the-art dairy barn.
The new farm now operates with four GEA robotic milking systems, automating much of the milking process. Another key feature is the Calf-Rail system, designed to streamline calf management while reducing labour demands. A recent video on the Hybrid Genetics YouTube channel offers a first look at the modernised operation. The family's decision to embrace cutting-edge technology reflects their commitment to efficiency and animal welfare. The rebuilt farm stands as a model of innovation in the Wesermarsch district.
The Töllners' new dairy farm combines automation and advanced systems to improve daily operations. With robotic milking and structured calf management, the facility represents a significant upgrade from their previous setup. The project demonstrates how compensation for infrastructure developments can lead to modernised agricultural practices.
