With a drought-affected silage crop going into pits this year, Teagasc is urging farmers to test silage quality before winter feeding begins. Teagasc highlighted that heat-stressed crops could present lower energy values than expected, meaning animals may need supplementary feed earlier and in higher quantities than planned.

If winter feeding costs begin to run higher than expected, get in touch with Cultivate. Local decisions, flexible repayments, no hidden fees.

Call 1800 839 999 or visit www.Cultivate-CU.ie.

Loans are subject to approval. Terms and conditions apply. If you do not meet the repayments on your loan, your account will go into arrears. This may affect your credit rating which may limit your ability to access credit in the future.

National average somatic cell count has risen to 184,000 cells/ml, up from 160,000 cells/ml at the same point last year, according to ICBF live statistics reported by the Irish Farmers Journal. Any cow consistently above 200,000 cells/ml should be considered a problem cow. Removing chronic cases sooner rather than later makes financial sense.

Mastitis and high SCC cost Irish dairy farmers millions every year in lost production and penalties. Investing in parlour hygiene pays back quickly.
If you are thinking of a parlour upgrade or equipment investment, Cultivate can help fund it.

With current fuel prices, an EV charged at home on a night rate costs just €1.53 per 100km, compared to around €12.74 for petrol. At 16,000km a year, that's a fuel saving of over €1,800.

The upfront cost is the main barrier for most Irish drivers. That's where Greenify comes in. A Greenify Transport loan through your local credit union can help bridge the gap between the purchase price and available grants.

Call 1800 911 797, email [email protected], or visit www.greenify.ie. Loans are subject to approval. T&Cs apply.
To find out more about Greenify loans from your local credit union, call 1800 911 797 or visit www.greenify.ie.
