There have been some changes in the Murray Dairy team, with Phoebe Dillon becoming the new Young Dairy Network coordinator for the Murray region.
With Phoebe now in this position, Bec Wyper (previous coordinator) will focus on her feedbase and nutrition role with Murray Dairy.
Phoebe is excited to hit the ground running by delivering good quality educational and social opportunities for young people in the dairy industry to help them thrive and to attract other young people into the industry.
She has already started planning some activities over the next 12 months for all Young Dairy Network groups — Northeast, Numurkah, Tatura and Kyabram, Campaspe, and Northwest.
Some of these activities will include farm tours, field days, social and educational dinners, trivia nights, and workshops in key areas.
Phoebe is passionate about dairy, which came from growing up on a dairy farm in south-west Victoria.
Since moving north in 2016, Phoebe has worked throughout agriculture in NSW and Victoria in various roles such as veterinary work, station work, livestock sales and processing and finance.
She is based on a farm in Girgarre East, growing and trading cattle and occasionally milking to help out.
When Phoebe isn’t working, you will find her gardening, reading, or riding her horse.
She believes everyone should be given the opportunity to learn regardless of their experience or background and thinks social networking is a huge part of both professional and personal development.
