Women in Agriculture: Orla Hayes' Dairy Farm Build 🐮

A New Era at Valley View Dairies – Meet Orla Hayes At just 26, Orla Hayes is blazing a trail in Irish dairy farming. From helping her mother on the farm as a child to working with her father in contracting, Orla's path has always led back to the land. After studying Agricultural Science in Tralee, she entered a family partnership and led the charge to bring dairy back to the family farm in Kanturk, County Cork. This video follows Orla and her parents as they share their journey—from research to planning, to installation of their new Pearson Milking Technology parlour. You'll see how a suckler farm was transformed into a modern dairy unit, equipped with a 12-unit parlour, cluster removers, dump line, automatic feeders, and expansion-ready infrastructure. Orla's passion for livestock, her hands-on approach, and the inspiring role she plays for the next generation of women in agriculture make this more than just a farm story—it’s a movement. 👩‍🌾 Featuring: • Orla Hayes – Young female farmer • Michael & Sinead Hayes – Family support and vision • Pearson Milking Technology – Equipment & installation • Local contractors and advisers that made the dream real 💬 “I’m living the dream…” — Orla Hayes 🔔 Subscribe for more real stories from the farms that are shaping the future of Irish agriculture. #pearsonmilkingtechnology #thesmartdairychoice #womeninagriculture #dairyfarming #irishagriculture #youngfarmers #familyfarming #femaleinfarming
