From Longley Heritage Group we want to reaffirm our commitment to our community.
From the alliance with Helpers Plus 800 citizens of Progreso are being trained in first aid. At the end of this project, we will be the largest cardioprotected city in Uruguay.

Thank you David D. for that contribution to the community. Thank you Progreso for joining us on this very important journey.

We were at the #Agroleite 2022!!! 🇧🇷
We are very happy with the opportunity to have been in one of the most important exhibitions of dairy products in Latin America! Sabina Clara Gleicher, in charge of the dairy farm, Angel Lezcano, the production manager and Mauro Torterolo, our veterinarian, were at the exhibition.

Thank you very much David D. for encouraging and supporting this type of initiative. The opportunity to see up close the dynamics of one of the biggest dairy powerhouses in the world is priceless for each of us as professionals!

Last week, Dianela Rabino our secretary received Facundo Berger, Technologist student of milk production system management at UTEC – Universidad Tecnológica. Facundo contacted us to come and see our facilities, processes and routines. They spent an afternoon together where they exchanged a lot.

Young people like Facundo are essential for the future of our dairy. It fills us with pride to be able to contribute to these young people.

For more Facundos!

Last week we received for the fourth day in our establishment the group of 22 second-year agricultural high school students from the UTU – Dirección General de Educación Técnico – Profesional from the Presidente Tomás Berreta Viticulture School, accompanied by their teachers, Nefi Echevarría and Marian Lancidad. In this instance, the group spent the whole afternoon with our Agricultural Engineer, Ximena Carrau, who prepared material especially for the group.

Ximena shared everything about the role of agriculture in a pastoral dairy farm, the diet of the cows, the rotation and everything that supports a #grassfed system.

In 2021, at Topilen S.A. – Campo Longley, we made a significant investment in the road for our cows. With the aim of continuing to improve the focus on well-being of our Jerseys. With the technical assistance of CONAPROLE through the “Sustainable Dairy Farm” Program, a survey was carried out, the existing infrastructure was analyzed, and a wide range of customized solutions were designed. As a result of this excellent experience, we participated in another infrastructure project that “Sustainable Farm” also offers: Energy Efficiency, which generated a report that we are pleased to share that there were NO recommendations for electrical changes in our facilities. In 2022 we started with the third project, which we are in the last adjustments to improve the management of effluents from our establishment.

And with great joy last Monday we were invited to participate in the closing event of the Sustainable Dairy Project. Many thanks to all the excellent professionals involved in the Project!

CampoLongley had the honor of representing Longley Heritage at Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebration.

At a gala reception at the Official Residence, UK Ambassador Faye O’Connor and her husband José Angel Reza welcomed their guests.

In her speech, the ambassador recalled the link between Uruguay and the United Kingdom and stressed that “it is not just about historical facts, but about the future that unites the two countries.”

We are in complete agreement, Mr President!

Yesterday was a day to receive students! This activity fills us with joy. Once again we received the visit of 22 second-year agricultural high school students from the UTU – General Directorate of Professional Technical Education, from the Presidente Tomás Berreta School of Viticulture.

Accompanied by their teachers, Nefi Echevarría and Marian Lancibidad, the group spent the entire afternoon with our veterinarian, Dr. Mauro Torterolo, and with our production manager, Ángel Lezcano.

They were able to participate in some activities with our team in an afternoon full of information and learning.

The main objective of the event was to generate an instance for discussion and reflection on the immediate actions to be taken in strategic sectors within the framework of the Glasgow Pact, considering the challenges and opportunities imposed by the climate crisis. It had a first day of conferences and panels in three thematic areas (Mitigation, Adaptation, and Finance and collaboration) developed in person at the British Residence facilities, with the participation of some international speakers through videoconference, and an online workshop for key players on the second day.
Due to the alignment found between Campo Longley and the topics to be discussed, it was a special pleasure to support this initiative and be able to expand the scope of this event and thus achieve a greater impact.

In addition to the support of Campo Longley, this project was financed by the Chevening Alumni Program Fund and has been declared of interest by the Uruguayan Ministry of the Environment.
