Progressive Donald seeks co op freezing works advance
In Donald Victoria progressive farmers formed a co operative freezing company to treat stock output. An almost completed plant stands a mile from town praised for construction quality and convenience. Returned soldiers receive preference and Australian materials are prioritized as far as possible. Initial labor disputes aside, the project moved ahead amid dry spells and market shifts. Directors from St Anna Woomerang Jeffcott and Carron drive the effort, with strong local support and a first statutory meeting approving continued development.
