The pink bales that have become a regular feature in parts of the Irish rural landscape in recent years are set to return in 2021 as Dairygold links up once more with the Irish Cancer Society.
The southern co-op has returned as a proud “Pink Partner” to encourage women all over rural Ireland to check themselves for early signs of breast cancer.
Early detection is key and provides the best chance of effective treatment for the illness.
Dairygold’s farmer members and farmers across Ireland are being encouraged to use the pink bale wrap across the summer in an effort to draw attention to the campaign and its purpose which could potentially save lives.
