“…New Zealand significantly increased its milk production during the EU milk quota era, mainly through increased cow numbers and yield increases resulting in more intensive production methods (Dillon, 2011). Given the rapid production increase of Irish milk production since quota removal, which is expected to continue, some argue that Ireland will experience a similar growth path to New Zealand by also increasing cow numbers, yields and stocking densities (Hurley and Murphy, 2015;Dillon, 2011). However, New Zealand's dairy expansion came at significant environmental costs resulting from nitrate contamination of drinking water, nutrient pollution of lakes, soil compaction and greenhouse gas emissions (Foote et al, 2015).…”

EU milk quota removal brings a renewed focus on continued adoption of sustainable technologies. This article explores spatial effects in their adoption using Bayesian spatial probit models employing a representative sample of Irish dairy farms. We consider global and local spatial effects, and overcome a missing neighbour problem by implementing census data in our spatial weight matrix. The findings reveal that spatial effects spill over to neighbours and better educated farmers with larger more intensively managed farms are more likely to adopt. The article concludes with policy recommendations that arise from our spatial analysis.
