July 25, 2021, 6:10 am The Irish Grassland Association (IGA) began its Dairy Summer Tour on the farm of Kevin Moran. In the last few years Kevin has focused on reducing his nitrogen (N) fertiliser inputs by incorporating clover into his swards. Kevin always had an ambition to farm full-time, but his home farm in Claremorris Co. Mayo was not suitable to dairy farming. Unlike some people in school, Kevin knew what he wanted to do. So, in 2013 he leased the farm near Caherlistrane, Co. Galway from his uncle Joe. He began his dairy farming journey with 72 cows on a land base of 40ha. He now farms a total of 105ha and milks 270 mainly crossbred cows.
