Lakeland Dairies, in conjunction with Teagasc, will be hosting a Summer Farm Event on Wednesday, 23rd July at the farm of David Williamson near Bailieboro.

Guest speakers will include Patrick Gowing, a dairy specialist and Head of Dairy Expansion at Teagasc, who will explain the essential principles for investing in farmyard facilities, applicable to farms of all sizes.
Additionally, Patrick Brady from the Land Mobility Service will lead on the crucial topic of farm succession management.
An IFAC expert will also be on hand to explore various farm business structure options, provide insights on managing cash flow and farm investments, and offer valuable tips on tax management.
On a statement issued to Northern Sound, Eamon Duignan, Member Relations Manager, Lakeland Dairies said; "We are delighted to partner with Teagasc, the Land Mobility Services and IFAC for this important event. The day promises to provide invaluable insights to help dairy farmers tackle everyday on-farm challenges.
