Welsh Dairy Farm Receives Grant for Nutrient Management, Supplies Milk to Glanbia
What happened
A dairy farm in Pembrokeshire sold milk to Glanbia. The farm received a nutrient management grant, which covered 40% of the investment required for an impermeable cover on its 4,000 cu m slurry lagoon. This cover was fitted when the lagoon was built in 2021.

Why it matters
