Conference - Held in March each year, the RABDF Annual National Dairy Conference provides a platform for leading figures in the dairy industry and Government, and gives farmers the opportunity to debate current issues with them.
Open Days -Farms are selected to demonstrate specific management techniques which have proven successful in improving returns or to give our members the opportunity to look at Britain’s leading dairy herds.
Regular Bulletins - Our members all receive our quarterly publication ‘Milk Digest’ which contains our latest news, lobbying results and information on forthcoming events we are organizing.
Training
Training Courses - In association with the Plunkett Foundation, we run a variety of courses for Farm Directors, dairy herdsmen and college lecturers.
Lobbying Activities
