Lely Australia’s conference on July 25 and 26 in Gippsland attracted farmers from across Australia.

The second day of the Connect, Care and Grow conference involved visits to two farms.

One farm, Willora, was an early adopter of Lely robot units, and the second full dairy installation occurred this decade.

The other farm, Wallacedale, is a recent installation of dairy robot units.

Here are photos of some of the visitors to the farms.
