Lely North America is proud to welcome Paul Peetz to its team. Recently named the Milking Technology Manager, Peetz brings more than 20 years of experience working within the dairy industry to the Lely team.
Born and raised on a dairy farm in Wisconsin, Peetz received his bachelor’s degree in Science-Agricultural Mechanization in 1987. He entered the dairy industry as a Division Sales Manager for Hanley Implement. Most recently, Peetz was the Territory Sales Manager for Milkrite Interpuls, a position he had been in since 2012.
“I think the robot gives us the ability to milk a cow just like my grandfather would have,” Paetz said. “The robot offers the ability to see, hear and feel how each individual cow is responding. It takes us back to the individual cow rather than seeing them as groups of cows without higher costs for time or labor.”
