Business management techniques are being extended onto the farms of Dairygold Co-op suppliers, and easing the heavy workload on dairy farms could be one of the benefits.

Measurement is critical to the farm business including milk recording, grass measuring, profit monitor and soil fertility, advises one award-winning dairy farmer. Dairygold’s Milk Quality Award winner for 2015, Sean Moher and his wife Treasa are to host an open day on their farm at Croughmore, Mitchelstown, Co Cork, next Tuesday August 23, starting from 11am.
