Fifty years ago, farmers in Kerry invested in a small dairy co-op, which began in humble conditions. This initiative, led by community members like Eddie Hayes, has now turned into a billion-euro success, benefiting ordinary shareholders greatly by 2025. The journey from a modest start in a field to a major financial success exemplifies the power of farmer-led co-operative efforts in local economies and long-term financial planning.
When ordinary farmers such as Eddie Hayes campaigned for a milk processing facility in Kerry more than half a century ago, little did they know that they would create a billion-euro bonanza for ordinary investors in the county in 2025.
It was a co-op that started modestly in a caravan in a mud-spattered field on the edge of the town of Listowel.
