Co-ops invited to nominate top dairy farmers for awards

Co-ops and dairies are being invited to select and nominate their top dairy farmers for the annual National Dairy Council and Kerrygold Quality Milk Awards. The closing date for entries is the end of April.

The awards recognise high standards on dairy farms with particular attention on sustainability, care of the environment, animal welfare and, of course, milk quality.

Known as “The Sam Maguire of Farming”, the awards also provide participating co-ops with role models at farm level and an opportunity to showcase dairy farming excellence.
