There's no better tonic than hearing farmers speaking positively about their future in a thriving dairy industry. We have been exposed to it recently at our regenerative farming events- Down to Earth, and also when speaking to former attendees of our Entrepreneurs in Dairying (EID) course ahead of the 2023 course launch this month.
