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.
