What a week for Ireland, for global agriculture and most importantly for future farming success!
For the first time ever Alltech’s Global 500 conference was held outside the US and Ireland played host to hundreds of the most progressive dairy and beef producers from across the world. They networked, shared experiences and discussed plans for profitability for 2014 and beyond.
Among the topics discussed at the think-in were: What are the modern challenges of animal production? How to target performance and profitability? What does the future hold? Can sustainability be achieved?
AgriLand live streamed the entire event and reported live on the ground.
Here’s a recap for your records or in case you missed all the action.
A good weekend read!
