Workshop for young farmers to focus on milk production quotas

A WORKSHOP at Teagasc, Moorepark next Wednesday will be the first step towards acquiring 200,000 litres of milk quota each for a group of young entrants to the dairy industry.

Since it was introduced in 2010, the entrant milk quota scheme has helped up to 50 young farmers set up in milk production.

The quota is allocated for free to successful applicants (it would cost up to €10,000 if available in the national Milk Quota Trading Scheme).
