Australian Dairy Council moves to boost production by pasture and herd improvements
The Australian Dairy Council plans an organiser to work with butter factory directors and dairymen in Victoria and New South Wales to raise production and lower costs through pasture and herd improvements. Mr A Sweaney of Inverell Co op Butter and Bacon Co Ltd was selected, drawing on New Zealand experience to expand pasture top-dressing and dairy efficiency. The move seeks wider prosperity for dairying, with Council funding under £8500 per year for nationwide gains. The piece also notes higher U.S. tariffs on dairy products and implications for Canada and New Zealand, plus the NSW Egg Board formation and its full control of egg marketing from a set date.
