Dairygold and Teagasc launch €1m post-quota dairy farm programme

Farmers will be invited to follow the expansion plans of four demonstration farms — a family farm growing from 60 cows up to 90 cows; a new entrant with up to 90 cows; a family farm rising from 100 to 150 cows; and a large herd operation with a new entrant collaboration model.
Dairygold chief executive, Jim Woulfe, said: “The core objective of this programme is to work with the tremendous resource that is Teagasc to help our milk suppliers achieve their dairy expansion ambitions but do so in a manner that is sustainable for them, their families, their herds and the society.
