Been using milc feed for about a year, working very well for us. 

I have android tablets in loader and feedtruck, they have data plans on them that run under $15/each per month

Small price to pay to keep everything updated and operating smoothly

Very handy to check feeding progress or change pen sizes or dry matter numbers from my phone or office computer - and changes show up almost instantly in the loader or truck

I would call Milc - have had a few issues when we started using the software and they were very responsive and helpful - I'm sure they can answer your specific questions



Two problems I see with the system:

1. someone else owns my data
2. You absolutely have to have a good wireless connection

(As soon as your data is in a cloud - - - not only do you not control it - - - you don't own it - - - any issues - - - you will be fubared so fast your head won't even have time to spin.
Where we are at we have a reception hole - - - there are plenty of others in large amounts of the area in the western parts of all of North America.
Any issues with reception and - - - again - - - big problems.
When everything works - - - likely quite the system but those two points would have me running for the hills!!!
(Nevermind if someone decides to hijack your system - - - so bloody easy to do and wouldn't that throw a nice little wrench into the system!))
