HerdStar® LLC, the innovative company behind BinTrac and MicroZone, has officially joined forces with BinMaster, a leader in level sensors and inventory management solutions based in Lincoln, Nebraska. This strategic acquisition positions both companies for continued growth and innovation in agricultural technology.

“Joining forces with the BinMaster team makes us stronger and better positioned to keep delivering innovative solutions to our customers,” said Mark Jaeger, President of HerdStar. “We will continue to manufacture BinTrac and MicroZone products at our facility in Mankato, MN.

BinTrac, known for its accurate feed monitoring solutions, and MicroZone, designed for precision climate control, will remain in production, with potential for new enhancements through BinMaster’s resources.

My guest this week is Mr. Paul Bootsma, Policy Coordinator for the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario (CFFO). We discuss his policy work at the CFFO and how the organization advocates for farmers with both the federal and provincial governments. We also discuss the current issue of waste at some small abbatoirs (slaughter facilities) in Ontario where there seems to be a pattern of excessive condemnation of animal carcasses by provincial inspectors, raising cost for both farmers and abbatoir owners.
