Trailer Inside Dairy: Managing grass in Wet weather
•
This Week on Inside Dairy
This week on Inside Dairy, we look at the challenges facing dairy farmers as difficult weather conditions continue across the country. We discuss how to manage grass supply and adjust feeding levels to keep cows performing during challenging conditions.
Aidan brings us the latest update on EU milk supply and dairy market prices, while we head to Offaly to meet Jeremy Hichen, who is milking 400 cows on a leased farm. Jeremy shares his experience and insights into managing a large-scale dairy operation.
And on this week's breakdown, we focus on autumn milk quality, looking at the causes of low lactose levels and the steps farmers can take to address the issue.
Tune in for the latest dairy news, practical advice and farmer insights on this week's Inside Dairy!
Listen to Inside Dairy every Wednesday from the Farmers Journal.
