Dairy farmers urged to increase output



Dairy farmers will be challenged over the next two days at the Teagasc National Dairy Conference to expand their operations to cope with volatile dairy markets and lower prices for milk.

Hundreds of dairy farmers are expected to attend the conferences in Cork and Athlone which will hear from international and local experts in dairying, processing and marketing.

Teagasc, which organises this annual event, estimated milk production can be increased by 78 per cent at farm level over the next 10 years.
