Cooperative Dairy Farmers Trophy Aims to Boost Herd Production
The Cooperative Dairy Farmers Trophy is designed to stimulate interest and raise production in dairy herds. The Department of Agriculture would run the competition as part of the Grade Herd Recording Scheme, awarding annual unit and state prizes, plus a major trophy for the three-year total. The basic year begins with 1946-47, with disqualifications for irregular practices and a detailed points schedule to be agreed by major dairy bodies.
