Teagasc expects dairy farm decline

TEAGASC expects the numbers of dairy farmers will continue to decline at the recent historical rate of 3% per annum, but national milk production is likely to increase.

These are just two of the predictions in a set of recently published Teagasc road maps for various agri-sectors.

The road maps also outline the likely implications that changes in land use will have on the environment and on other farming enterprises.
