Uintah creamery to reopen with former foreman back in charge
The Uintah creamery plans a May 16 reopening with the Agricultural College head creamery man arriving to assist and to start machinery. Parley Ford, former foreman, is likely to be secured to run the operation again. Hay prices are favorable at $5 per ton for the next two years, and dealers like Hanson of Salt Lake back a strong market for their cheese. Farmers in the valley plan to ship Jersey heifers for better dairy stock as the creamery restarts.
