New Zealand Farm Methods Impress Australian Visitors
Australian delegates observed New Zealand farming practices with 75 paddocks and electric fencing for methodical grazing. A 75 acre farm yielded 30 000 gallons of milk from 60 cows, while a coastal Australian farm with similar stock produced about 7 000 gallons. The NZ government redistributes land to returned servicemen, and farmers use silage from nine inch grass. They noted better homes, hardwood timber, and strong hospitality from NZ farmers.
