The Dairymis Discussion Group, which was established by Teagasc Moorepark in 1979, recently celebrated its 40th anniversary.
The group is based in Teagasc, Fermoy, but has participating farmers from all over Waterford, north Cork and south Tipperary.
It was established to act as a benchmark group where dairy management information could be assessed and disseminated to dairy farmers.
The present Dairymis group comprises 20 farmers from Cork, Kerry, Tipperary and Limerick. The current chair is Michael Gowen, from Kilworth, Co Cork, and Michael’s father was part of the original Dairymis group in 1979.
Slievenamon group

The Slievenamon Discussion Group also recently celebrated a 40th anniversary. The genesis of the Slievenamon group happened when dairy farmer Pat O’Connor from Grange in south Tipperary, Pat Hanrahan and local adviser Bill O’Brien from ICI met to see if there was a local interest in setting up a group.
Currently, the group has 16 members and meets on the second Tuesday of every month.
Donal Maher is the chair and James Mullane from Teagasc is the current facilitator.
