A meeting of district dairymen heard Mr H W L Benford, consumer representative on the S.S.W. Mik Board, say poor farm buildings force farmers and their workers to seek factory work. He urged higher conditions for wives and employees to boost milk output within the Board's price framework, noting Muswellbrook and Gloucester quota strains and the need for proper cooling and orderly milk collection.
The discussion covered distance limits for trips, carrier rate controls, and the role of the Prices Commissioner. A factory proposed contracts with carriers to prevent undercutting, noting large firms like Hesham and Bowthorne already used carrier agreements or own lorries. The South Coast Carriers Association sought input on the matter.
In a brief, the board cannot register carriers due to power limits, leaving the registration stalled and unclear actions ahead for the involved parties and officials. The text hints at regulatory constraints and potential future steps.

At a district meeting in the School of Arts, N.S.W. Milk Board chairman Mr. A Watson and Consumers representative Mr. H L Denford assured dairymen that supplying milk to the Board does not stop calf rearing or pig production. They explained conditions on registrations, how licences work, and that the Board may request more milk while not preventing farm fattening. They outlined building standards, quality tests, and the new price structure effective from September, with cartage responsibilities clarified between farmers and the Board.
