New Zealand milk output will fall by 10% by 2030 as the country’s dairy industry confronts the combined challenge of improving water quality and reducing its carbon footprint to a net zero level.
These were two of the main points made by New Zealand dairy farmer and Dairy Holdings Ltd (DHL) chief executive, Colin Glass, during his presentation at the recent Ulster Grassland Society (UGS) annual conference.
Glass’s grandparents moved from a farm in Co. Antrim six decades ago to establish their own dairying enterprise on the outskirts of Canterbury on New Zealand’s South Island.
DHL is a dairy farming business comprising 76 farms at four locations on New Zealand’s South Island. The business is majority-owned by Kiwi shareholders with the business model anchored on the principle of producing as much milk from pasture as possible.
