Six Irish farmers bid for Yara Grass Prix

Co Cork farmers Tom and Simon Browne will again match their grass silage production skills against the best in the UK and Ireland this year.

Their opponents in the Yara Grass Prix competition will include fellow dairy farmers Danny and Patrick Cremin from Co Limerick, and Eddie Jordan, the dairy farm manager at UCD’s Lyons Estate farm in Co Kildare.

“For 2015 we have six Irish entrants, and are determined to claim the winning title for Ireland this year,” says Yara’s Irish Business Manager, Nicholas Morrison. “We have one of the best climates for grass growth so, with added attention to detail, there is no reason we shouldn’t be celebrating an Irish winner.”
