It looks like dairy farmers in Australia are feeling pretty good. A new report by Dairy Australia called “Dairy 2006: Situation & Outlook” shows dairy farmers are more positive with more than half planning to increase production over the next three years.

Produced by Dairy Australia, the report is part of the industry’s collaborative strategy to review, assess and plan its future based on sound information. Situation & Outlook incorporates the opinions of more than 1300 farmers who participated in the National Dairy Farmer Survey earlier this year, helping build a comprehensive assessment of the industry’s current status. Dairy companies, farm consultants and others also provided valuable information.

The full report, Dairy 2006: Situation & Outlook, is available on www.dairyaustralia.com.au.
