Episode 6: Stu Griffin

Stu Griffin is a fourth generation farmer with a real passion for dairy. He studied vet science and worked in Northern Vic before returning home to the family farm, where he milks just under 500 cows with a 10 in 7 milking interval. In this chat we explore a whole range of topics including the influences his parents have had, his time as a vet, what the farm looks like now and the decision to move to once a day and into 10 in 7 as well as the many roles within dairy advocacy he has held. I also learn what a ‘cow day is’ and Stu gives his predications for the future of the industry. 

This is Stu’s story
