Keely Buckingham

Keely is the area manager for the Eastern Southland and Gore areas and is based from our Invercargill office. She joined DairyNZ in 2019, firstly in the M Bovis Response before moving into the Southland South Otago regional team in April 2020.

Keely grew up on Waikato and Southland dairy farms before studying a BCom Ag at Lincoln University. She is currently farming in an equity partnership alongside her husband on a sheep farm in the Catlins.

She is passionate about seeing farmers sharing information, not only to improve on-farm efficiencies but also to grow and thrive in the dairy sector.
