Livestock Event: complimentary ticket for all UK dairy farms
All UK dairy farms will receive one complimentary ticket to the Livestock Event, the industry’s leading event with over 450 trade stands to be held at The NEC, Birmingham on 8 and 9 July.
“We are acutely aware that dairy farmers are experiencing extraordinarily difficult times, consequently to help out, event organiser, the Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers has agreed this gesture to provide every UK dairy farm with the opportunity to attend free of charge, and discover first hand relevant information and products, new ideas and practical advice to keep their business on track,” comments RABDF chairman, Ian Macalpine. He adds: “There will also be the opportunity to purchase additional tickets for partners and herdsmen at a favourably reduced rate.”
DairyCo’s Duncan Pullar adds: “Dairy farming is a cornerstone of the show and in these times of volatile markets, it remains important for all dairy producers to access relevant information and take an opportunity, away from the farm, to share-in ideas and developments to help them to progress and become more profitable.”
• The complimentary ticket will be included in DairyCo’s newsletter All Things Dairy, June issue. NI dairy farmers will receive tickets from their milk buyers.
