Paula Hynes: Wrapping It Pink for breast cancer

If you are driving around the countryside and see pink bales in a field, stop and take a photo and use #WrapItPink to share the message on social media, urges Cork dairy farmer Paula Hynes.

Silage bales wrapped in pink bale wrap on the Hynes farm to help create awareness for breast cancer as part of the #WrapItPink campaign

I mentioned in my last article that we made silage bales as part of our first cut silage and we wrapped them in pink bale wrap. We try to use pink bale wrap as much as possible every year as part of the #WrapItPink campaign, which highlights breast cancer awareness. 

We source the pink bale wrap from Dairygold, who in turn use the campaign to raise funds for the Irish Cancer Society. This is the 11 th year that Dairygold have been helping farmers turn the countryside pink and raising vital funds for such an important charity.
