Dairy farm for cool €1m
According to Eamonn O’Brien, of CCM Mitchelstown, this Rathcoole dairy farm in north Cork has a great ratio of land to quota — 74 acres to 75,971 gallons, and a purchase now would see that allowed against over-production in other dairy farms. This means dairy farmers could buy here and use the quota to offset against milk on their own farms, before March 31 of next year.
So drying-off of cows could be avoided and the farm would also provide silage or a grazing for replacements.
