Agribusiness sector rallies to help combat fodder crisis

Co-ops and agribusinesses and Teagasc have put their shoulders to the wheel to help farmers since Dairygold Co-op’s move last week to import 2,500 tonnes of fodder revealed the extent of the crisis on farms.
Glanbia pays a rebate of €50 per tonne of manufactured ruminant feed ordered up to April 23, including calf milk replacer, and silage stretcher straights. Glanbia also imported 1,000 tonnes of alfalfa from Spain.
