The Dairy Farming Year in Review Part 2

Continuing the Dairy Edge Review of the Year, Emma-Louise Coffey was joined by Teagasc Director Gerry Boyle, Teagasc specialist Abigail Ryan, and Head of Animal & Grassland Research Pat Dillon. Gerry, Abigail and Pat took the opportunity to review the Greenfield Project following its conclusion this year with Abigail reviewing the lessons learned from the project, acknowledging its strengths and weaknesses. The Greenfield Project has proven valuable to dairy farmers across the country who have entered dairy farming in the last six years. As we take stock of the farming year of 2019 and look forward to 2020, the panel consider areas farmers must focus on including maintaining our high calf-care standards and the importance of looking after yourself throughout the year. For more episodes and information from the Dairy Edge podcast go to: https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/the-dairy-edge-podcast/
