In Episode 295 of the Kite Podcast, Will Evans and Ben Eagle are joined by farmer Fraser Jones, podcast producer Becki Reay and milk market analyst Chris Walkland to unpack the highlights and key takeaways from the DIN Conference last week, held under the timely theme ‘managing through chaos’. The episode explores what that theme meant in practice, from geopolitical uncertainty and volatile milk markets to changing consumer demand and environmental pressures. Becki provides an overview of the conference and why it remains a key fixture in the dairy calendar, while the panel reflects on standout speakers and global perspectives from regions including France and the United States, highlighting both shared challenges and emerging opportunities. A strong message throughout is the importance of collaboration, innovation and investment across the supply chain, with Fraser bringing the discussion back to farm level and considering what practical lessons can be applied within his own business.
