Adapting to Covid-19 At The MDF

April 2, 2020 by MDF

At the MDF, we are taking stringent precautions to reduce the potential spread of Covid-19.

If you need more information about Covid-19, especially as it relates to the dairy industry, Dairy Australia has a great reference page at:

https://www.dairyaustralia.com.au/about-dairy-australia/about-the-industry/dairy-industry-covid19-directory

Please see the link below for a quick one page summary to reduce spread on-farm- print it out and pin it up!

The farm is still operating as a commercial farm, and Jade is still acting as our Extension Officer, so while you will see less of Jade out and about in the MID, she will be relaying information to our community from home.

Please, if you are feeling isolated or need to chat, call Jade on 0488 175 366 or email mdf@wideband.net.au

Best wishes in this difficult time

The MDF team
