Van der Berg Melkvee
140 Holsteins milked by two robots outside Leeuwarden. Sensor collars, auto-feeders, and a farmer who still walks the barn twice a day because software does not smell problems. Tours for farmers and students most winters.

Robot dairy — behind the scenes

Live view of the robot arm at work, the sensor dashboard explained in plain language, and an honest conversation about what the technology does well and what it still gets wrong. Popular with farmers considering the switch — bring your questions and your scepticism.
