Bethany Coursen of Spring Mills scrapes manure from the floor of her family’s dairy barn to help the robotic Lely machine discard the waste Wednesday, June 12, 2019, at the Valley Wide Farm in Spring Mills. About four years ago, the Coursens installed a robotic milker, which allows the Coursens to track and access data such as, the quantity of milk each cow gives, the amount of food each cow consumes and every cow's ovulation cycle.
