Dairy Hub Celebrates eight years of supporting the Scottish Dairy Sector with ‘Drop In’ at the Highland

The Scottish Dairy Hub will be celebrating its eighth birthday of supporting Scottish dairy farmers and the nation’s dairy sector at this year’s Royal Highland Show.

The Royal Highland Show, which is celebrating its 200th anniversary, will take place at Ingliston, just outside Edinburgh, from Thursday 23 June to Sunday 26 June.

Dairy farmers are invited to come and meet Stuart Martin from the Scottish Dairy Hub on the NFU Scotland stand which is newly located in Avenue O Stand Number 572, opposite the new members pavilion, between the SAYFC building and Tesco Stand.

Stuart will be on the stand between 2.00pm and 4.00pm on both the Thursday and Friday of the show, to answer any questions dairy farmers have.

Speaking ahead of the show Stuart said: “The Scottish Dairy Hub is here to help, and we receive many enquiries daily.  Just recently, we have dealt with the topics of bedding, artificial insemination, training courses for staff, installation of cattle tracks, on farm processing, calf house design amongst many others.

“In addition to the “one to one” helpline service, the Hub is happy to work in a proactive manner to look at projects on a longer-term basis, both for dairy farmers and relevant service providers.

“If you think the hub can help, then come and see us at the show.”

If you miss Stuart at the show, farmers can place their question to the Scottish Dairy Hub via the website: www.scottishdairyhub.org.uk or by email info@scottishdairyhub.org.uk

In addition, it can be contacted by phone on Mob: 07500 766083.  Scottish Dairy Hub is also on twitter: @scotdairyhub and Facebook: www.facebook.com/scottishdairyhub

Recognising the working schedule of dairy farmers, the hub more than happy to be contacted at any time, seven days a week.

Stuart added: “Our Hub website has proven to be very popular.  Its events and noticeboard pages are updated daily and offers dairy farmers an easily accessible snapshot of events, workshops, and conferences – all currently online - that might be of interest. The notice board section is used to buy and sell products and has an excellent jobs page for those look for staff or looking for jobs in the sector.”   Ends
