Cahir-based Farm Relief Service offers a diverse range of services

Cahir-based Farm Relief Service offers a diverse range of services

 

 

When Farm Relief Services was first established in 1971, the aim was to give farmers a competent relief milking service to enable farm families to have an occasional weekend off, or during sickness or holidays, secure in the knowledge that their cows would be milked efficiently to a high standard. 

Based in Cahir, the Farm Relief Service has expanded and diversified beyond the expectations of the original instigators. The range of services now provided for its users include:

Farm Services:

  • Hoof care
  • Relief milking
  • Cattle weighing
  • Cow Scanning
  • Farm Fencing
  • Quad Spraying
  • Freeze Branding
  • Grass Measuring
  • Soil Sampling
  • General Farm Labour

Our Farm Operatives are fully insured while working on farms and in general the operatives themselves come from a farming background so have an in-depth knowledge of farming and the various farming enterprises.

The FRS Farm Labour service is viewed by many farmers as a great source of access to farm labour without having to employ a full-time labour unit on the farm. In many farming situations, labour is more essential at certain times of the year such as during springtime and harvest time. By accessing FRS labour a farmer can employ a labourer to help for the busy period required and once the busy period is over he can cease the employment.

Similarly, should a farmer require labour maybe for a day or two per week, then using FRS is the most suitable option available. It allows the farmer to have help on the farm all year round but on a part time basis with out having to employ a person full time on the farm.

The benefits of using FRS for farm labour are:

  • Continuous source of labour all year round
  • Fully insured labour and access to personnel from farming origins
  • Fully tax compliant
  • One monthly invoice. No worries on submitting paperwork to revenue to create payslips, holiday pay, etc
  • Access to labour in time of crisis eg. farm accident, family bereavement 
  • Peace of mind that your farm is in good hands
