Earlier this week we had a problem with the diet feeder, which we managed to fix in between milkings, but in the process it acquired a puncture (temporarily fixed).
Over the past few weeks we've had intermittent problems with the weather station and/or PC running the analytics. I think I have stopped the "flat lining" and we had a (brief) period of stability - but now we are getting sudden momentary drops in temperature (down to -25). It could be because the wireless signal (between the instruments outside and the console inside) is dropping. I have set it to ignore anything below zero, and I'm constantly checking and amending the data - but it may be that the weather station's days are numbered.
So, do we invest in something newer and hopefully better (but probably more expensive), or go back to the seaweed?
