Andy Dodd

Treasurer

Coming from a non-agricultural background, Andy initially gained dairy experience on a number of farms in North Yorkshire before graduating from Harper Adams in 2000 with a degree in Agriculture with Land and Farm Management. He continued on farm after completing his degree, initially as head herdsman in Yorkshire and then as a dairy farm manager in Herefordshire, where he was responsible for day-to-day management, staffing and budgeting on a large mixed dairy and arable farm. Andy joined AHDB Dairy as an extension officer in 2009 and was Technical Manager for Breeding and Fertility from 2014, leading on delivery of the Calf to Calving initiative for which he was awarded the Innovation in Agriculture team award in December 2017.

Andy is married with three young children and lives in the market town of Newent in Gloucestershire. In February 2018 he joined WhiteAvon Consultancy, part of the Farm Consultancy Group, as a dairy farm consultant. Since joining in 2010, he has found BCBC an invaluable source of information on current and future issues for UK farmers and a great opportunity to meet like-minded people from the industry and farming.
