The judges will select a short-list of national finalists whose farms will be visited by the national judging panel for an inspection. The judging panel will combine the technical data with the inspection of the farm in order to select the overall national winner.
The overall winning dairy farmer will receive a prize of €5,000 and the NDC & Kerrygold Quality Milk Awards perpetual trophy.
