Programme to help farmers boost financial management skills

DAIRY farmers will be invited to enhance their financial management skills under a Glanbia and Teagasc programme to be rolled out to all Glanbia suppliers over the autumn and winter.

“The abolition of the milk quota regime will be the catalyst for significant growth on Irish dairy farms, Glanbia Dairy Ingredients Ireland chief executive Jim Bergin said.

“In this series of workshops, Glanbia suppliers will be trained by Teagasc personnel both on the elements of good financial planning and on how to use a financial planning toolkit.”
