Milk incentives promised by Dairygold
“A means of ensuring that whatever is put in place is fair to the farmer will obviously be required”, said Chief Executive Jerry Henchy last week, addressing the Irish Grassland Association conference in Limerick.
He envisaged differential pricing, or price penalties for excess milk at the peak supply time in May, with bonuses for suppliers who follow the extended grass production model of spring and autumn calving promoted by researcher Seamus Crosse of Teagasc’s Moorepark staff.
