Dairy conference set to focus on strategies for sustainable success

The 2013 Teagasc National Dairy Conference will take place in Cavan on Nov 12 and 13.

The theme for the conference is ‘Strategies for Sustainable Success’. It will outline the what farmers need to do in the areas of grassland, breeding, and business planning in order to successfully grow their dairy business and to harvest the potential.

Teagasc’s head of dairy knowledge transfer, Tom O’Dwyer, said the industry is changing. “More milk will be produced and processed in the future. Better management practices, especially in the areas of planning and budgeting, will be required to allow this to happen and if dairy farmers are to successfully grow their business.
