John explaining to the crowd here how he is focusing on water quality while farming at a high stocking rate. Big focus on protected area, LESS, slurry storage, the value of slurry, timing of slurry application, and keeping the yard clean using a bucket and brush

[Dairy Sustainability Ireland 🐮💧🌱 @DairySusIreland]

The Farming for Water measures that's have been out in place on this farm and the money on offer for each of the measures. A great way of putting money in farmers pockets and improving water quality simultaneously

[Ben Malone @BOMaoileoin]

Great crowd for the Farming for Water EIP event in Moynalty.

The message is clear. There is support there to implement the right measure in the right place and address #waterquality. Now is the time to use it while the funding is in place.
