Waikato Milking Systems
Sharing information, talking to farmers and making better products as a result is why we’ve formed an association with SMASH. Being involved in discussion groups and listening to feedback will provide focus and aid product development. Discussing future needs or simply improving the status quo, just two good reasons for us to be involved with SMASH.
