Returning this year is the Young Engineer Award. This award is a key highlight of the LAMMA Show schedule as the award looks to champion an individual or collective of young engineers who have created or worked on a piece of agricultural machinery, equipment or technology which significantly improves efficiency, profitability or sustainability on-farm.
Daniel Broderick, from Omagh, was revealed as the 2023 winner for his Cubi-Care machine. The machine, which Daniel has been working on since 2013, makes the process of cleaning dairy cow cubicles much quicker and easier.
Cubi-Clean will sweep the cubicle clean, scrape the slats and also rebed the cubicle all in one pass! The machine has proven to save time and costs in various ways. It uses bedding material much more efficiently and effectively by producing an even spread. Also with the highly effective brushing and bedding customers have found much lower somatic cell counts in their herd since using the machine over manual methods.
Stephen Davies, of Davies Technology Ltd in Powys Wales, was announced as the 2022 award winner for his feed buckets based on a shear grab design.
The design of the shear grab bucket allows the user to mix within the bucket, ensuring the delivery of a mixed ration. The product is focused on forage quality whilst keeping costs low. The judges were particularly impressed by his understanding of the market and knowledge of the equipment and training needed to make this product a commercial success.
