New faces on DWN trust

atamata and Atiamuri based dairy farmers Tracy Brown and Karen MForlong have been appointed to the Dairy Women’s Network trust board. “My vision is to provide support to women in the dairy industry, in order for them to reach their potential,” said Mrs Brown, who farms with her husband Wynn at Tiroroa Farms near Matamata. The Browns milk 700 cows producing 260,000 kgs of milksolids per year. They were 2010 Waikato Ballance Farm Environment Awards Supreme Winners, leading Mrs Brown to become regional co- ordinator for the Waikato Ballance Farm Environment Awards for the following three years. She is currently chair of the DairyNZ Dairy Environment Leaders Forum and Chair of the Matamata Intermediate BoT. As she joins the trust board she is looking at ways of raising awareness of the network’s role of adding value to the dairy industry. TRACY BROWN KAREN FORLONG “I thought joining the trust was a good way of giving back to an industry that has She also has a BAgrSci (Hons) from selves, it truly is a most ‘inclusive’ group of been good to me,” Mrs Brown said.
