Driving Efficiency in Dairy & Exploring the Irish Experience (Maine)

This workshop (the first of three in the Northeast) will feature in-depth presentation and discussion led by Dr. Padraig French who is the Head of Livestock Systems and the Dairy Enterprise Leader at Teagasc (the Irish version of USDA) and is also a dairy farmer in County Cork. Dr. French will focus on the critical success factors for Irish dairy, which include pasture utilization, labor efficiency, and managing for seasonal calving. The discussion will focus on ways that U.S. dairy farmers can use some of the Irish dairy techniques to become more profitable with grass farming.
