Dairy farmers call on Kerry Co-op to adjust its milk price upwards

DAIRY farmers held an emergency meeting in Tralee last night to call on Kerry Co-op to adjust its milk price upwards.

The Irish Farmers Association (IFA) dairy committees from Kerry and Limerick organised the meeting as the debate on the milk price issue intensified.

IFA National Dairy Committee chairman, Richard Kennedy, said Kerry was more than 2% behind the best milk price payers in the country.
