Masstock plans large dairy farms in Georgia
Masstock International, an Irish firm, plans a 1200 cow dairy first in Georgia with four similar operations later. Construction begins in 1987, with 250 to 300 acre dry lot feeding and about 18 employees per farm. Products focus on soft cheeses and short shelf life items, potentially shifting from fluid milk to in house processing to stabilize supply and prices.
