The Great GEA Get Together

GEA Farm Technologies formerly known as Westfalia have been milking cows for over 100 years and can support British dairy farmer with milking robots, feeding, and other forms of automation along with conventional milking systems.

Between the 12th and 20th June, GEA staff are raising money for the Farming Community Network (FCN), virtually travelling a route around the UK taking in all our branches - a distance of some 3,700km.

Participants will be completing the distance on foot, bike, rollerskates, surfboard.. whatever human-powered means they wish and aiming to hit our fundraising target of £10,000 for FCN.



The Farming Community Network (FCN) supports farmers and farming families through difficult times and periods of change.

Each year FCN helps approximately 6,000 farming people with a wide range of issues, including animal disease, mental ill-health, financial difficulties and family disputes.

FCN’s 450 volunteers across England and Wales understand farming life and provide local support for rural communities.

FCN's Helpline (03000 111 999) is open 7am-11pm every day of the year. FCN also operates an e-Helpline (help@fcn.org.uk).
