Words of wisdom from dairying women

1 min read

GIPPSDAIRY’S annual ladies’ lunch is taking place this year at the Moe Racing Club on Friday, November 29.

The much-anticipated event is organised by the Gippsland Women in Dairy Working Committee and celebrates the hard work and achievements of dairying women across the region. All farmers and industry professionals are invited to gather off the farm to network and hear from an inspiring panel of speakers.

This year’s event theme – Wise Words – aims to showcase the knowledge and lived experiences of a panel of local farming women, including Lyn Hornby, Thelma Hutchison, and Chris Anderson.

Through hard work and determination, all three women have built successful careers in dairy. They are guided by their passion for the industry and the development of the next generation of farmers.

The panel session will be facilitated by GippsDairy’s Farm Engagement Lead, Kim Price.

Event emcee, Allison Potter, grew up on her family farm in Poowong North, which her father converted from beef to dairy in 1997.

Allison has spent most of her professional career in Field Services roles and is currently the Head of Field Services for Bulla. She is an experienced dairy and beef farmer, and one of the founding members of the Gippsland Women in Dairy discussion group.

Registrations close on Friday, November 22 and the event is expected to be fully booked.

GippsDairy would like to thank its major sponsors Gardiner Dairy Foundation, and DLL Financial Solutions, with additional support from Bulla, GEA Australia, and Daviesway DASCO.
