Hugh MacEneaney, Teagasc Dairy Adviser, Mullinavat, Co Kilkenny“Good facilities allow farmers to expand production and incomes and add to the asset value of the farm. They also lead to a better quality of life for the farm family by reducing the workload and the drudgery. In many cases, particularly on dairy farms, buildings pay for themselves over a 7-10 year period. This is especially true when capital grant and tax savings are available.” Link to Agriland Article on our Housing options Link to Agriland Article on cow mattress systems for maximum comfort and productivity
