Australian Dairy Farmers (ADF) today met with NSW Farmers Dairy Council as part of its ongoing efforts to meet with dairy farmers and industry representative bodies across the country.
ADF CEO, Natalie Collard and Senior Policy Manager, David Losberg, travelled to Sydney to meet with NSW Farmers Dairy Council and brief them on ADF’s continued advocacy on behalf of the industry.
This follows a meeting last week between ADF President, Noel Campbell, and the Queensland Dairyfarmers’ Organisation (QDO) in Brisbane.
Ms Collard said the meeting provided an invaluable opportunity to discuss issues of importance to local dairy farmers.
“ADF is committed to getting out and about to meet with dairy farmers and their representative bodies across Australia,” Ms Collard said.
“We appreciate the opportunity to meet and speak with the NSW Farmers Association Dairy Council today as well as update them on ADF’s ongoing efforts to advocate on their behalf on important issues like the drought, the price of milk, retail competition and trade opportunities among numerous others.
“These matters are important, not just in NSW, but across all of Australia’s dairying regions and ADF remains committed to ensuring our advocacy at a national level reflects this.
“We will be holding many more of these meetings around Australia in 2014, as we seek to grow the industry and build a profitable future for dairy farmers.”
Ms Collard thanked NSW Farmers Association Dairy Council President, Rob McIntosh and Council members for hosting the meeting and for their advocacy on behalf of NSW dairy farmers.
