In this episode, we cover the timeline of implementing robotic milkers on our 220 cow dairy. We discuss barn fabrication, robot installation, herd transition and what it was like doing this with 3 generations of farmers at the same time. We admit our mistakes and celebrate some of our successes.

Welcome to the first episode of Farming with Family, where we talk about the good the bad and the ugly of generational farming. We introduce your hosts, Garrett and Ashley, sibling dairy farmers in Eastern Washington State. 

We cover why there's a need to discuss the actual day-in-day-out life of generational farmers. The goal of our podcast is to provide you with relatable content about what it’s like to farm with older generations and to diversify to make the operation sustainable for ourselves and our kids.

We want to offer you systems, mindset shifts, tools and testimonies to improve your farm’s longevity. Not because we’re experts, but because we want to learn this stuff alongside you.
