Maurice Moynihan farms with his father, Timmy, in Tralee, Co. Kerry. A third-generation farmer, Maurice began helping his father around the farm at the age of 11, and fell in love with farming life. His brothers, Teddy, Michael, Kevin and Thomas would help out when needed, especially at silage time. Animal husbandry comes naturally to Maurice, who feels that the health of the herd is key to a smooth-running operation that produces top quality milk. Maurice is open-minded and feels that it is necessary to move with the times in order to ensure continual improvement across all aspects of farming. Maurice considers farming a community affair and feels he would not be where he is today without the help and involvement of his neighbours and community.
