23: Gearoid Maher, dairy farmer, Limerick

Gearoid is a dairy farmer from Limerick with 197 acres and 80 purebred Friesian cows.  He explains how and why he works with nature on his farm. "“The old rule of thumb was a cow to the acre – and that has been my ethos all along. If I can farm a cow to the acre without pressure then that’s what I'll do.” Guest - Gearoid Maher, dairy farmer Presenter - Brigid Barry, Farming for Nature For more information visit https://www.farmingfornature.ie Contact Brigid - info@farmingfornature.ie Twitter @farmfornature
