Today's farmer meets the day armed with more than just a pitchfork. Science and computer technology are used to help control the efficiency of livestock production and the health and safety of the herd. Washington farmers are recognized as being some of the most efficient and technologically advanced in the United States.
Farmers use computers for breeding, bookkeeping, and individual lifetime animal records.
The farmer handles a large number of animals, so the more control he has over feed quantities, health and inventory, the more efficient the farm is. All rights reserved.
