I am your DairyCo extension officer for the North Midlands and
cover Derbyshire, South & West Yorkshire, Humberside and
Greater Manchester.
Through technical meetings both on- and off-farm, I help to make
DairyCo's many products and services available to dairy farmers by
providing the link between milk producers and DairyCo.
One of my main roles is to establish and run dairy business groups in the
region. These discussion groups consist of 10-12 like-minded
farmers and allow you to look at best practice, share ideas on many
different issues and learn from each other. It is you who decide
the topics for discussion. Previous subjects have included dairy cow fertility,
heifer rearing costs, benchmarking and many others. Lots of
farmers across the country have benefitted from being in a DairyCo
business group.
Please feel free to contact me to find out
more about DairyCo tools and publications.
