DEAR SIR: As a dairy farmer, I would like to make an appeal to all dairy farmers. Please install an electrical generator on your farm if you don’t have one. They are as important as fire insurance on your dwelling house. To hear of stories of cows not milked for two to three days is desperate for man and beast. Thousands of euro have been invested in buildings, milking parlours and farm machinery. For a fraction of the cost, a generator is every bit as important. What cost can you put on peace of mind?
