NOEL Campbell has been elected unopposed as the new head of dairy lobbying in Australia.

The Gippsland dairy farmer was elected following the Australian Dairy Farmers’ annual meeting in Melbourne today.

ADF chief executive Natalie Collard said the AGM was well attended and there was no questions.

Ms Collard said ADF had a policy not to release it's member numbers.

However, she said they had not actively recruited members and was confident they would grow over time.
