Jake installed BarnTalk on his 4,000-head finishing site last summer to get hands-on experience with the system and quickly learned it provided “good checks and balances against the computer system sensors.”

Wireless feed bin sensors have been developed to help growers measure the amount of feed in their bins, helping to optimize feed delivery schedules, reduce out of feed events, and improve their animals’ performance.

With the BinTalk wireless feed bin sensor, growers can monitor the amount of feed inside their bins 24/7 on their smartphone.

For poultry grower Todd Clark in Embro, Ontario, the challenges of using a wired alarm system were a harsh reality for over two decades. Switching to BarnTalk was a breath of fresh air.

David Traetow kept getting alarm calls from his Sensaphone and would have to drive out to his barns during snow storms to identify the problem.

With wireless feed monitoring technology promising to revolutionize the way growers measure feed intake, it’s important to consider how wireless feed sensors compare to other methods of measuring feed.

With the 3G network officially brought to a close, traditional alarm systems and dialers have gone out of service and are leaving growers, producers, and integrators in the dark.

With the temperatures plummeting dramatically, Perdue grower Jack Spreen received a low temp alarm for one of his hog barns. He discovered his barn curtain fell off completely and was allowing the frigid air to pour into the barn.

Along with having 24/7 visibility into their barn environment, seeing barn temps in real-time is also helping producers identify potential inefficiencies with their heating systems.
