Dairygold Co-op praised for its grain prices announcement

Dairygold Co-op was praised by farmers this week for its grain prices announcement, writes Stephen Cadogan.

IFA President Joe Healy said many of the country’s 3,000 specialised tillage farmers are seriously questioning the long-term viability of their tillage farming, and it is reassuring for them that the co-op’s prices were not based on the lowest common denominator of imported feed ingredients.

He hoped other other grain buyers will follow suit.
