eastAUSmilk Board elected a new President

The new board of eastAUSmilk commenced its term on 1 January 2026 with 3 members from NSW and 3 from Queensland.

The three members from NSW are Ruth Kydd (southern), Tim Bale (central) and Dan Latham (north). The three members from Queensland are Joe Bradley (south coastal), Waylon Barron (south inland) and Paul Newland (north/central).

The board met on 12 January, and the previous president Joe Bradley stood down as chairman. I would like to sincerely thank Joe for his time as president and the leadership he showed during this time.

The board has elected Tim Bale president and Waylon Barron vice president. This is the first time in the 4-year existence of eastAUSmilk that the president has been from NSW. Tim is a dairy farmer from Stewarts River just north of Taree in NSW. Waylon’s farm is on the darling downs near Toowoomba in Queensland.

Congratulations to both Tim and Waylon on their appointments.
