Spotlight on Teagasc dairy farm expansion management challenges

Up to 2,000 dairy farmers will gain invaluable insights on the key management challenges with expansion at a Teagasc walk on Greenhills Farm, the farm of Tom and Simon Browne at Knocknagappagh, Killeagh, Co Cork, from 10am to 3pm this Thursday.

With 1,400 farmers having already signed up, and with more last minute bookings likely, the local authorities have set up a one-way access system and ample parking for the nationwide traffic flow heading towards the east Cork farm.

The Brownes milk 820 cows, and they have around 300 replacement heifers and 300 heifer calves.
