It was a large scale ($4.5M), collaborative effort between Dairy Australia, dairy companies and state government departments over 18 months.<\/p>\n What we did<\/u>:\u00a0 Pauline Brightling and Steve Coats (Dairy Australia) led the Advisory Group that worked intensely to articulate the issues and uncertainties, and shape an effective response – that ultimately reached more than 1,800 farmers. The response was designed to focus on an individual\u2019s situation, give farmers control by providing a clearer picture of the situation and their options, be matched to the mood (no spin doctoring), have a straightforward mode of delivery, and work through a large network of aligned advisers.<\/p>\n The collaboration across all parts of industry gave rise to several initiatives that continue to endure, including Dairy Australia\u2019s National Dairy Farmer Survey<\/em> and Dairy Situation and Outlook<\/em> report, and a way of Taking Stock<\/em> of both the physical and financial aspects of the farm business.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″][et_pb_blurb admin_label=”Further Reading” title=”Further Reading” url_new_window=”off” use_icon=”off”
