Dairygold has launched its Milk Supplier Census 2025 – 2030 to capture the milk production ambitions of its milk suppliers over the next six years. The valuable insights provided by Dairygold’s milk suppliers through this Census will inform how they and the Society can work in partnership to deliver a long-term sustainable future for farming.
Speaking about the launch of the Census, Dairygold Chairperson Seán O’Brien said: “Since our last Census in 2020, the dairy market and policy landscape in which we operate has changed significantly. Sustainability and environmental challenges, including the Nitrates Derogation and the agricultural emissions targets, have fundamentally changed the operating environment for both dairy farmers and processors.
“I would urge all of our milk suppliers to take the opportunity to have their say in the future of the Society by completing the Census. The results of the Census will inform the decisions needed to support our milk suppliers’ production ambitions and deliver sustainable growth for milk suppliers and the Society. The importance of getting a full and accurate response to this Census, to Dairygold and its members, cannot be overemphasised and we appreciate the support of our milk suppliers in completing and returning it before the 4th October deadline.”
All Dairygold milk suppliers will receive a copy of the Census this week and can fill it out in paper form, online at www.dairygold.ie/census or over the phone with a member of the Dairygold team. The Census must be returned by Friday, 4th October, so that results can be used to inform planning and budgeting for 2025.
