One new smartphone app developed by German agricultural company Lely has cows mooing for joy. The app, which was unveiled at this year's International Green Week Fair in Berlin on Thursday, can control even the little details of the milking cows. Smart machines connected to the app allow farmers to remotely feed cows with fresh grass and a special milking robot even permits the cow to "choose" when it feels like being milked. The farmer can manage his cows from anywhere in the world that has an internet connection all with the tap of a finger.
