Dairygold Co-Operative Society is hosting its annual Positive Dairy Conference this Friday, 19th January in the Corrin Event Centre in Fermoy. The conference, free to all famers, will assemble expert speakers to cover three key topics; Milk Quality, Market Outlook & Sustainability, along with Nitrates and Water Quality.

The conference aims to inspire positive change and to encourage a more sustainable future for the Irish Dairy Industry. A panel discussion including Dairygold milk suppliers, facilitated by Dr Karina Pierce (UCD), will follow each topic.

The conference element will take place from 11am until 3pm. There is also over 30 trade stands showcasing a wide selection of the latest in agriculture machinery and technology. The stands will be open from 10am. Refreshments will be served and there will be prizes and giveaways throughout the day.

BIGGER & BETTER EVENT

Encouraging all milk suppliers to attend, Dairygold Head of Supply Billy Cronin said: “This is the second year of what will be our annual Dairy Farming Conference and it’s going to be bigger and more interesting than last year’s successful event. We’re keen that we give dairy farmers positive encouragement, and we feel we have an excellent line-up of speakers who can offer attendees positive viewpoints and supportive information for the dairy production year ahead.”
