Young Dairy Network- Fleurieu Farm Visit: On Farm with the Hurrell Family

Join us for a farm visit with the Hurrell family on the Fleurieu Peninsula and get an inside look at their recently completed, purpose-built off-grid dairy barn.

The new barn features an automated, six-stall Lely robotic milking system, allowing cows to move freely and choose when they are milked. The barn operates entirely off-grid, powered by an integrated renewable energy system combining solar, industrial battery storage and methane capture.

Come along to see the technology in action, hear from the Hurrell family about their experience planning and implementing the new system, and explore the opportunities and challenges of investing in automation, renewable energy and new dairy infrastructure.

Its a great opportunity to connect with other young dairy farmers, ask questions and get a firsthand look at an innovative dairy operation on the Fleurieu Peninsula.
