Coming Events
As work starts to gear up for spring, please keep in mind if there are any upcoming events that you would like to promote, don’t hesitate to advertise them in the Mountain Milk Line.
The Mountain Milk Line is distributed to every dairy farmer in the North East, and is also read by service providers and dairy industry stakeholders. So it is a great opportunity to let the dairy community know about events in their region. The newsletter is for you, the reader, so please feel free to contact the editors. Feedback and comments are also welcomed.
If you would like to promote your event in the Mountain Milk Line, then please contact: Dennis Watson, telephone (02) 6030 4567 email dennis.watson@dpi.vic.gov.au or Leah de Vries, telephone (03) 5833 5223 email leah.devries@dpi.vic.gov.au
