Ifan Roberts runs a 1000+ cow and 526-hectare dairy unit in Leicestershire and after working in the dairy industry for more than 10 years, he has identified a need for talent to drive dairy businesses forward.

With positions often going unfulfilled, he wishes to find out what could be done to change this by exploring methods which can entice new talent into the dairy industry. Ifan wishes to visit Ireland, New Zealand and China to learn what other operators are doing to cultivate the next generation of farmers.

Ifan’s Trehane Trust sponsored study is titled: Inspiring the next generation of dairy entrepreneurs
