18/05/2016 NO REPRO FEE: Farmer Noel O'Connor, Danesfort, Megan Conway, James Cunningham, Glanbia Agribusiness and Deimante Poviliunaite were pictured at the launch of the Glanbia Agribusiness 'Bale Pink appeal in Co Kilkenny. Farmers around Ireland are being encouraged to get behind an eye-catching initiative this summer in aid of Breast Cancer Ireland – a pink silage wrap supplied by Glanbia Agribusiness. Glanbia is once again hoping to raise money for breast cancer research by launching a special edition of its Mastercrop Agristretch silage wrap. This follows the success of a similar campaign last year which raised over €7,000 for Breast Cancer Ireland. For every roll of limited-edition bright pink silage wrap purchased, a donation will be made to Breast Cancer Ireland which will be matched by Glanbia Agribusiness. A limited quantity of Mastercrop Agristretch silage wrap, which is used for wrapping silage or haylage, has been specially manufactured in pink for this campaign. The rolls can be purchased across all Glanbia Agribusiness and CountryLife branches. Mastercrop Agristretch silage film is made in Ireland. Farmers are encouraged to share photos and videos of their pink bales on social media using the hashtag #PinkBales Visit www.glanbiaconnect.com to find your nearest branch to purchase the netwrap.
Local farmers are being urged to ”go pink” when they’re cutting silage this summer by buying special pink silage wrap for a good cause.
If you do get the limited edition pink wrap a percentage of the price will go to Breast Cancer research and Glanbia will also match the donation.
Aisling Hurley from Breast Cancer Ireland’s told KCLR that this research is already saving lives and we can help save even more over the coming years .
