Dairy
Pat and John Hickey, along with Pat's wife Elaine, operate three dairy holdings under a partnership agreement.
Results of a Teagasc study, which analysed labour issues on 38 dairy farms - with herd sizes ranging from 60 to 600 cows - were presented at this week's International Agricultural Workforce Conference.
The Irish dairy industry has undergone change, with increases in dairy cow populations and herd sizes evident across the country.
