Numurkah Butter Factory’s Notable Early Prize Record
The Numurkah Butter Factory earned multiple medals and prizes starting 1933 under managers Jack Brooks and Ray Firman, including bronze Export Honors Class medals and first prizes for unsalted butter and stored products. The awards, from 1933 to 1945, occurred at Melbourne events like the Royal Agricultural Show, with strong competition. Electric light was later introduced to Numurkah after a proposal by J T K White, leading to a local council decision and a regional report.
