Summary
The beneficiary Mrs Milena Chodnicka is a young female farmer who owns dairy cattle farm. Previously, she had invested in building a new cowshed using RDP support.

Thus, she applied for RDP funding to install a new cow herd management system for managing the feeding and reproduction of the cattle in her new cowshed.

The milk production increased on the farm.
