Efficient farmers ideally placed to reap global harvest

Efficient Irish dairy farmers will be ideally placed to capitalise on the global sales opportunities that will emerge post-expansion, according to leading industry experts.

That was the message delivered at yesterday’s Emerald Expo 2012 in Cillin Hill, Kilkenny, by speakers from Alltech, Dairymaster, Glanbia, Teagasc and visiting experts from Germany and China.

The two-day event, which continues today, is supported by the Irish Holstein Friesian Association. It features a mix of farm walks and outdoor activities, along with high-level discussion groups.
