There’s a new face on the dairy industry scene as DairyCo replaces the Milk Development Council and promises to deliver on its mission to promote world class knowledge to Britain’s dairy farmers.
The farmer-led DairyCo board recognised that while much of the MDC’s work is still relevant and valuable it also needed to take a fresh look at the industry which has led to a challenging business plan for its first year. As he said in his recent interview in this newsletter, DairyCo Chairman, Tim Bennett, believes DairyCo will focus on helping dairy farmers increase their profits by providing the tools and information to be competitive in a growing global market.
“We are committed to bringing our levy payers an organisation that works for them and with them - we have a great team in place ready to deliver ambitious and exciting projects to a re-energised, profitable dairy industry.”
Richard Davis, one of our Farmer Directors and Stewart Jamieson, one of our Local Representatives, will both sit on the DairyCo board.
