Castiles Farm partners with LIC to help achieve their goal of building a more sustainable, resilient and profitable business.
LIC Europe is working with New Zealand companies, Gallagher and Waikato Milking Systems, on a unique project started by Irish farmers, Paul and Stephen Costello, in Germany. The Costello’s have invested in a 1600ha unit just south of Brandenburg. The farm is unique to the area, aiming to produce pasture-based milk for local consumers.
As the UK works towards reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050, the agricultural industry has been put under the microscope. In a report from GOV.UK, agriculture was found as the source of 10% of total GHG emissions in the UK and of these, emissions 90% is nitrogen and methane from livestock and pastures.
My LIC cows are doing the job that I
want. They are good survivors, cope
with all types of weather, have good
feet and go back in calf year on year.
You can throw anything at these cows
and they bounce back. They are making
us more money.
