Dairy Down Under - liquid gold, family strength & full of opportunities

After Chris’ report this week, Ben is joined by Rachael McGrath, Aussie dairy farmer, Steve Spencer, of Freshagenda and John Allen, Director at Kite for an update on Dairy Down Under. Steve gives us an overview of the highs and lows there over the last few months including the impact of the high milk price, volatility of the climate and what the relationship looks like between retailers and dairy farmers. Rachael gives us an insight onto her family farm and what the previous and current year has looked like including the impact of milk price, weather and the post Covid labour market. They give their thoughts on the EU Trade negotiations and discuss the challenges of the landscape in terms of connecting people, especially the next generation, comparing the investment in young farmers by processors in the UK vs Aus.
