Why are so many farmers going into milk in ni, around me this last 2/3 years there’s been loads, mostly sucked cow men changing but there has been 2 cases of arable farmers starting up from scratch. Talking to one farmer recently that’s converting from sucklers to milk and he said it’s simple there’s 6times the money in keeping a milk cow compared to suckler, (don’t think he has ever milked a cow before) it turns out it was his bank manager that planted the seed in his head. Not every farm in ni can become a milk farm
How’re you getting on/finding it? Do you enjoy it?
Most of them forget that either they or their parents/grandparents were a new entrant once! And many were fourtunate to just come home to an established setup.@Wishful Thinker 's first line seems to some up the attitude of most established dairy farmers towards new starts
