There is good news for planners and farmers alike. After coming under severe pressure, the Department of Agriculture has extended the Knowledge Transfer programme deadline by two months.
The outlook is better now than it was two months ago on the global dairy front. Prices at Tuesday’s Global Dairy Trade auction in New Zealand rose for the fifth consecutive time.
And, finally, a Co Donegal man has avoided jail despite kicking a member of An Garda Síochána in the head at an agricultural show.

They have converted and built all their sheds from a previously suckler and sheep farm themselves. Kenneth has installed a system in the dairy that heats his water for free.
