London Farm Show visitors can expect to be treated to many things including contests, networking, speaker presentations and the newest technologies available to farmers.
Anyone visiting the Tasco Dome booth is getting a look at some innovative new designs for 2016.
“We have a feed canopy that goes down the side,” said Chrissy Guthoerl, North American Territory Manager for Tasco Dome. “You can have it down one or both sides and drive your mixer along. It’s a new design for a canopy.”
One of the new features of the canopy allows for farmers to reduce how much snow or water sits on top of it.
“It can actually be tightened,” she said. “It’s on a lynch system so it won’t be floppy and rain won’t build up in the canopy.”
Guthoerl said that other benefits include ventilation and light, which can help keep the cattle inside comfortable.
She said that the new designs allow for Tasco Dome to help resolve any issues farmers may run into when it comes to housing – which is a different tone from years past.
“Before we just had our series of buildings,” she said. “You bought the buildings and you figured out what you wanted to do with it. “Now, whatever the farmer needs, we’re going to figure it out.”
