Australian Dairy Farmers (ADF) has today congratulated Hamish McIntyre on his election to the key role of President of the National Farmers’ Federation.
ADF extends its congratulations to incoming directors Peter Herrmann and Ben Bennett, who also serves as ADF president.
Together, their leadership will be vital as agriculture navigates an increasingly complex policy and economic landscape.
ADF chief executive officer, Stephen Sheridan, said the organisation would continue to work with the NFF to progress key issues that benefit not just dairy, but the entire agricultural sector.
“ADF recognise that NFF directors must act in the best interests of NFF, its membership and the broader industry, and ADF as a long-standing member of NFF welcome the appointment of a dairy farmer to the NFF board,” Mr Sheridan said.
“The dairy industry is the third largest agricultural sector in Australia and it is only appropriate to have a dairy producer as a director of NFF”.
ADF thanked David Jochinke for his advocacy and leadership throughout this time as both a director and President of the national body.
