This week we carry the first in a series of Dairy Know-How articles. The objective of the initiative is to deliver an innovative, easy to understand, and practical technical message to Irish dairy farmers. In light of expanding herd size, new entrants to milk, and more employed farm staff working on Irish dairy farms, there is a need to get back to basics on the skills that make dairying profitable. Over the coming year we will focus on key areas such as milk quality, financial assessment, feeding and herd health.

Dairy Know How is an IFJ initiative in partnership with Dairygold.
