“Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything…” - Steve Jobs

Every year Dairy Herd Management puts together a panel of dairy farmers, agribusiness representatives and university experts to judge the usefulness and value of new products to the dairy industry. This year, LWR’s First Wave System made the list of the top 10 game changing innovations that was announced during World Dairy Expo. The First Wave System was launched earlier this year in direct response to the feedback we were receiving from the dairy industry. “We are constantly listening to producers and we recognized that to fully service the dairy industry we needed to offer the same quality of manure treatment that you get with the LWR System, in a package that drastically reduces operating costs not only for smaller operations, but to an entire industry that has been battling low milk prices,” says JR Brooks, Director of Operations for LWR.

“In a dairy industry that is fast-paced and ever evolving, these awards showcase the finest in the industry and the commitment industry partners make to keep the future of the dairy industry strong,” said Cliff Becker, Vice President and Publishing Director of Dairy Herd Management. The full LWR System was recognized as a Top 10 Product in the 2011 Dairy Herd Management Innovation Awards. To have the First Wave System now recognized on that list is a true testament to our longstanding commitment to the dairy industry.
