DairyCo

Shirley Macmillan

DairyCo Extension Officer in East Anglia.  Shirley is based in Wickham Market, Suffolk

"There are 93 milk producers in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire with a further 24 in Northamptonshire. They include a range of breeds - Jersey  Guernsey, Holstein, Friesian and crossbred  - with herd sizes from 16 to 600. 

Having now visited all of these dairy farms and established people's problems and preferences, I'm putting together tailored meetings for small groups within one hour's travelling distance.

DairyCo's role is to fill the gaps and offers a chance for levy payers and their staff to get something back for their levy and learn together in an independent, confidential environment where dairy farming is positive, profitable and fun.

So if you are interested in taking part in an Impact Group (a series of three meetings covering topics such as business or breeding) or forming a DairyCo Discussion Group please get in touch".
