Keen to join the dairy industry

More than 2000 inquiries have been made in response to a Dairy InSight campaign aimed at attracting new entrants to the dairy industry.

About 800 "prospects" had been identified as a result.

Chairman Doug Leeder said it was too soon to say how many would actually end up in dairying but "indications are very positive".

Leeder said one of the dairy industry's most urgent needs was to attract "enthusiastic, motivated people"
