Dairy experts to discuss ways of maximising profit
Some of Ireland’s most entrepreneurial farmers will tell delegates how they are taking advantage of better prices, as global demand outstrips supply and food reserves vanish.
They include west Cork farmer Micheal McCarthy, explaining how he achieves profits of €1,800 per hectare, and his plans for over 100% expansion to 200 cows by 2010 with one labour unit, aiming for 500kg of milk solids per cow on 100kg of concentrates.
