Pink silage bales are set to be a common sight once again in the countryside this summer, as Glanbia’s limited-edition pink silage wrap goes on sale in aid of Breast Cancer Ireland.

Farmers nationwide are being encouraged to get behind the #PinkBales campaign and to ‘Bale pink for breast cancer awareness’.

For every roll of the limited-edition pink Mastercrop Agristretch silage wrap purchased across all Glanbia Agribusiness and CountryLife branches, as well as online on GlanbiaConnect.com, a donation will be made to Breast Cancer Ireland.

More than €25,000 has been raised in the last three years from Glanbia’s #PinkBales campaign for Breast Cancer Ireland.
