JOINT VENTURES
Paddy and Paul have worked as partners for years. Shortly after taking over from their parents they saw how necessary it was to bring down their costs and increase productivity by undertaking a joint building, machinery investment and herd expansion programme. Today they milk a combined dairy herd of 300 while maintaing the independence of the farm units. A joint venture in forestry is a natural development for such a successful partnership. They launched the Premier Irish Forestry Fund in 1999 and now propose to build on its outstanding success.
