Throughout May, eastAUSmilk will be conducting dairy discussion dinners across Queensland and NSW to chat about farm business resilience planning, milk pricing and contracts.
These discussion dinners will be beneficial to farmers across the two states leading up to the release of Milk Supply Agreements on June 1.
The meetings will be led by Matt Hall, Eric Danzi and Jade Chan.
Matt has more than 25 years experience in the dairy industry, having worked predominantly in the Gippsland region of Victoria. He has previously worked for milk processors and has an in-depth knowledge of milk price and contracts to provide support to eastAUSmilk dairy farmer members.
The discussions will be robust, focusing on market exposure and pricing agreements however the topics can be driven by demand and interests on the night.
