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.”
