Helen Stanier
NFU Dairy Board appointee, NorthHelen farms a herd of 240 Jersey cattle in York, where she lives with her husband and two children.
The farm supplies Longley Farm and the milk is also sold directly to the public via a vending machine which was installed on the farm.
Helen has a keen interest in the Jersey breed. She is a member of the National Board for UK Jerseys as well as being the secretary of the North East Jersey Cattle Club.
She also writes a column in the Farmers Guardian called 'in your field' on a monthly basis, which covers a range of topics affecting everyday farming life.
With personal experience in the supply chain, Helen is passionate about creating a more collaborative approach to dairy.
She would like to see recognition from the government and the supply chain regarding the requirements dairy farmers are expected to meet and for these demands to be fair and achievable.
