Dairy Day 2023 is sure to bring many topical talks and seminars throughout the day, along with 70-plus commercial trade stands in the dairy industry.

Adding to this is the new ‘Meet the experts’ section, where Irish Farmers Journal specialists and experts in the industry will be available to farmers throughout the day.

The purpose of this area is to bring IFJ specialists and their readers together by giving farmers the opportunity to have a confidential one-to-one discussion with an expert on the topic that they have expertise in.

There will be a broad range of areas covered on the day, from TAMS III advice, schemes and BISS, renewable energy, nitrates maps, careers advice, farm finance, crop advice and selective dry cow therapy.

  • Printed ICBF milk recording reports.
  • Cell check report.
  • Lifetime summary report.
