Eleven dairy farms shortlisted for Dairy Council Quality Milk Awards

ELEVEN dairy farms in eight counties and representing eight co-ops have been shortlisted for a visit by the national judging panel in the 2010 National Dairy Council Quality Milk Awards – the competition which sets out to identify and reward top dairy farmers.

NDC chief executive Helen Brophy said dairy co-ops who submit their top farmers to represent their entire group of farmer suppliers have already undertaken a form of shortlisting for the awards, so the quality of entries is very high.

In the next phase of the awards, the judges will assess all of the technical and background data on the finalists alongside information from the inspection of their farms.
