Teagasc Dairy Manual proves big hit

AMBITIOUS dairy farmers have been snapping up copies of the new Teagasc Dairy Manual (TDM), a comprehensive guide to planning for the post-quota era.

A 320-page weather-proof road map with advice on everything from animal health to project management, farmers snapped up 165 copies at Teagasc’s recent dairy conference in Cork, and another 150 in Athlone, with another 20 people putting their names on a list when the copies ran out.

The manual is available from local Teagasc offices.
