   Announcing details, Dr Seamus Crosse, Head of Dairy Production Research at Teagasc Moorepark, said supply and cost of labour are fast becoming critical barriers to the continuation of milk production on many farms.
   ...
   In relation to larger dairy farms, Seamus Crosse said that hired labour is now a significant cost and can be as high as 20p per gallon of milk produced. This must also be assessed, particularly in the context of the alternative job opportunities available in the booming industrial sector.
