Sean Moher: I'll be following Shalloo's advice and knuckling down on costs in 2025

We received our payment from DAFM for the multi-species sward and red clover seeds this week. I’ve been asked by a few people if I am happy with them and if I will set them again.

The Dairygold Signpost dairy farmers had our last meeting of the year in Moorepark. First up was a meeting with Laurence Shalloo. Laurence is a pleasure to listen to his knowledge and positivity of all things dairy is great to hear. 

He said our focus in 2025 should be on getting our costs down, some of this will happen anyway but there is a lot of scope to reduce it further. Concentrate use, grass grown and utilisation are three of the things to focus on. He was also very positive on the issues of emissions and nitrates.
