Ben McHugh

I am a third generation dairy farmer at Mt Compass, I work with my wife Katie in a family partnership with my Brother David, sister-in-law Jane and our parents Kym and Heather. I have three boys Tom, Henry and Sam. I have been involved in the dairy industry for 16 years.

We milk 300 Jersey Cows in an all year round calving herd. We also run a cropping enterprise at Finniss which we grow hay, wheat, barley, lupins, beans and canola for our dairy and other markets.

I completed a Diploma of Agriculture at TAFE in 2010. I was on the SADA board for two years in 2014 and 15 before the board restructure. I sit on the Dairy SA board as the SADA rep.
