Dairy farmers who relied on flexi milk must think again
Announcing details of the Milk Quota Temporary Leasing Scheme and the Flexi-Milk Scheme, Minister Mary Coughlan said she was anxious to give further recognition to active and committed dairy farmers who manage their production efficiently having regard to their available quota.
The closing date for the first stage of the Temporary Leasing Scheme is September 15, 2005, followed by a top-up stage at the end of January, for which only producers who applied to lease from the first stage will be eligible.
