Mr Bennett was re-elected president for a period of two years unopposed at a National Council meeting immediately following the AGM.

ADF chief executive officer Stephen Sheridan congratulated the three returning directors.

“David Beca returns once more as an independent director and Heath Cook and Ben Bennett as business directors,” Mr Sheridan said.

“I thank Andrew Aldridge for contesting the board vacancies at today’s AGM, as well as for his time and commitment as a Policy Advisory Group chair and a national councillor.

“On behalf of ADF, I look forward to a constructive year ahead with some significant priorities already on the cards, including a review of the Dairy Code of Conduct and a Federal Government election.”

ADF is a national dairy farmer industry representative body working to improve the productivity and sustainability of dairy farming in Australia.
