Thanks to Nick Simmons, Escambia County Extension for sending in this week’s featured video. This video highlights an innovation developed by Hue Fussell, a farmer in Ambrose, GA who invented “The Cow Sprayer.” The Cow Sprayer automatically applies insecticide to every cow as they walk through a portable frame gate. For just under $3,000 this solar powered system can be used to spray every cow in the herd without having to catch them in a squeeze chute or pen the cattle. As they walk through the system voluntarily, cows are gently sprayed individually.
