Self Driving Feed Trucks and Precision Cattle Feeding with Jacob Hansen of ALA Engineering
You may have heard of a robotaxi... but have you heard of a robo feed truck--a self-driving feed truck? In this episode of Sustaining the Herd, Andrew and Brock sit down with Jacob Hansen of ALA Engineering. In the words of Jacob, he feeds cattle—but not as a cattle feeder in the traditional sense. ALA Engineering feeds cattle with their self-driving feed truck that they're currently bringing to market. Jacob talks about how the self-driving feed truck first came to be. He also gives a glimpse into the future of precision cattle feeding. Buckle up and tune in for a fun ride in Episode 28!
