According to CAFRE senior dairying adviser, Alan Agnew, there is a lot of mis-information around the topic, which causes confusion and apprehension among farmers.
“Hopefully this conference will provide clarity on many issues and allow farmers to make better informed decisions in responding to the challenge,” he said.
Tickets for the event cost £15 to cover lunch and booking can be done via the events section of the CAFRE website (www.cafre.ac.uk).
