After intense days touring England and Scotland, Ángel and Mauro have returned to Uruguay! And the journey was long…

ATC South West Dairy Development Center
This center is part of the UK Agri-Tech Centre and serves as a platform to test and demonstrate new agricultural technologies. Its main objective is to achieve sustainable and efficient milk production.

UK Agri-Tech Center Midlands Innovation Hub
A pioneering facility in agricultural and precision engineering, focused on research and development. It brings together researchers, technology and food companies to boost productivity in agriculture and the UK food supply chain.

Royal Highland Show
Scotland’s largest annual agricultural event, organized by the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland (RHASS). The best of food, agriculture and rural life is showcased here.

Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC)
Research center dedicated to cows and sheep, focused on improving feed conversion efficiency and reducing the carbon footprint in bovine production.

In addition to visiting these reference institutions, both had the opportunity to interact with numerous commercial companies specialized in services and products for various links in livestock and dairy production.

It’s a pleasure to have you back safe and sound!

🇬🇧 Today we 🎉celebrate🎉 the 17th anniversary of our #dairyfarm by sharing ravioli!!! 😋

p.s. Many thanks to Jose and Lucia for preparing the ravioli for the benefit of the neighboring Rural School No. 206, Angel Dodera!

🇬🇧 Apparently, Angel and Mauro are having great time at UK.

Thanks for visiting Tyers Hall Farm and Longley Farm

🇬🇧 A different afternoon…

Last week the “Field and Roots” workshop of Minga Project started and the first practical outing was to our farm.

18 young people, John Díaz Cortés, Mario Tortarolo (Project volunteer veterinarian) and Nicolás Cejas spent the afternoon with us in a “small training session” about the different work tasks of a milking farm.

With the support of volunteers and friends, Minga Project is a comprehensive care and promotion support for adolescents and young people aged 14 to 18 in situations of social and cultural exclusion. It has headquarters is in Las Piedras where they offer different training experiences to young people.

We hope for the next generation of tamberos, chicos.

🇬🇧 Yesterday we received a visit from doctors Walter Renberg and Natalia Cernicchiaro, researchers and teachers in veterinary medicine at the Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine.

Accompanying a group of veterinary students from the University, they toured the country visiting establishments and institutions in different fields.

Interested in visiting a hashtag#grassfed dairy farm, they spent the morning touring hashtag#CampoLongley with Stella Maris Huertas Canén, Elena de Torres and the dairy manager, Sabina Clara Gleicher.

In addition to getting to know a 100% Jersey dairy farm that has grazing as the basis of its entire system, they tried the famous hashtag#mate.

It was a pleasure to receive you and we have our doors open to welcome you again whenever you wish.

🇬🇧 Last Saturday we welcomed the group of first-year agronomy students from the Faculty of Agrarian Sciences of the Universidad de la Empresa. Together with their profesors Alvaro Fros y Stefanía Díaz, on a beautiful autumn day they were received by Dianela Rabino and Sabina Clara Gleicher.

The visit was organized into 4 stations where after hearing about our system, the students had to make a live return.
We talked about:

✅ Who we are, milking parlor, operation, and routine
✅ Jersey breed, productive characteristics, and reproduction
✅ Feeding system
✅ Breed and breeding

A group of future technicians who had their first contact with a dairy system of high production, quality and with important commitments to sustainability.

A pleasure to receive you!

🇬🇧 The students arrived! 👩🏻‍🎓👨🏻‍🎓

Last week we welcomed Natacha, a student from Facultad de Veterinaria, Universidad de la República. She will be with us while Dianela welcomes her baby.

This week, Maxi, a Technologist student in milk production systems management from UTEC – Universidad Tecnológica, arrived. He will stay with us until November as part of his second year of professional degree.

Very welcome to the hashtag#CampoLongley team!

P.S. Lucía and José’s “torta frita” were spectacular!! 😋😋
