Industry achievements celebrated at SA Dairy Awards

Congratulations to the winners of the 2023 South Australian Dairy Awards who were announced at this year's Annual Gala Dinner at Adelaide Oval on Friday August 4.

Hosted by the Dairy Industry Association of Australia and proudly presented by joint Premier Partners SADA and Golden North, the event celebrated outstanding achievements in SA dairy amongst a wide network of farmers, processors and service members. On the night, guests enjoyed an elegant 3-course dinner alongside local wines, and the state's finest dairy products. 

With a turnout of around 250 people, the evening was alive with conversation between peers and friends, Channel 7 reporter and emcee Casey Treloar, and a select panel of judges.

Representing DairySA, was Regional Manger Melissa Hunter and REO Shannon Logan. They were joined by Chair Andrew Cavill and Farmer Director Michael Krichauff.
