Bernard Ging

Past President 2016/2017

I am a dairy farmer from just outside Portlaoise Co Laois. I am married with 2 children.

I was a new entrant to dairy farming in 2012 having converted from beef and sheep. We have developed the dairy business on a 60% leased dry fragmented farm to be milking 210 cows in 2020 and rearing all replacements in a spring calving system. Our main focus is converting grass into profit. I have a particular interest in soil fertility
