Written by Team Lely | Jan 28, 2016

Lely has a new addition to its North American Center network. Priority Robotics of Tillamook Equipment Service & Supply is located at 2 Stillwell Ave., Tillamook, Oregon and provides knowledgeable guidance during that next step in dairy automation.

Kurt Mizee, a fourth-generation dairyman, started Priority Robotics in 2011 with the goal of becoming the first commercial robotic milking dairy in the western United States. Together with Lely North America, Mizee offers reliability, consistency and efficiency in an industry where skilled labor is becoming less available and more expensive.

“As a dairyman, I understand this is a pivotal time in the dairy industry where skilled labor has become less available and more expensive,” Mizee said. “We know the importance of having quality equipment and the need to have technicians who are prompt, accurate and thorough when you need them.”

His company is farmer-focused and specializes in robotics with technicians who recognize the nuances specific to robotics in the dairy business.

“They are trained not only to make your equipment function at its best but also in farm management support to improve your bottom line,” Mizee said. “A great dealer plays a critical role in the success of an automated dairy. Having extended down time due to unnecessary errors and return visits is not an option.”
