The Positive Farmers present Europe’s best Dairy Farming Conference each year

Attending our dairy conference is a must, whether you are thinking of starting out in dairying, changing your system, need to

review where you are at, or you just want to be the best!

Size does not matter, in fact dairy farms with less than 80 cows need to be as or more resilient to withstand price fluctuation and other challenges.

We aim to help all sizes and types of operations. Through its open format the Positive Farmers Dairy Conference provides a unique forum for discussing

topics of critical importance to the dairy industry. The topics are carefully chosen to give you direction and clarity and the focus you need to achieve your

goals.

The two day are full of meaningful insights, great people and will send you home motivated and focused on improving your dairy business! We continue to push the boundaries in providing world class information and speakers in a positive and invigorating atmosphere.

for dairy farmers in Ireland and the UK.

As an organisation we are watchful of both domestic and world developments and how it affects inside the farm gate. With our large network of trusted contacts worldwide - industry leaders, advisors and top performing dairy farmers, we take great care to formulate programmes that address the current and future needs of dairy farmers. We consistently provide materials & speakers to improve skills in key areas, grow awareness of opportunities and risk and greatly improve profits and efficiency on farm. Every year we strive to raise the bar for dairy farming and in 2018, we want to seize every opportunity. From engaging and helping to lead the industry, to strengthening ties with farming organisations that share quality information. We also strive to make dairy farmers more aware of how the global markets function, what factors drive them and how this influences the price we get for our milk. Our recent tour of The Mid West United States will help greatly in understanding this sleeping giant which is now the second largest exporter of milk in the world.
