DAIRY SUPPLY ORDER
OBLIGATIONS IMPOSED ON FARMERS (P.A.) WELLINGTON 1 , April 9. A dairy supply order of considerable interest to farmers is brought down in to-night’s Gazette. The new order revokes the provisions made last year with regard to the supply of milk or cream to creameries and cheese factories. Under the previous order a continuous obligation was imposed on the occupier of a dairy farm or his successors to carry on the same type of farming, and to supply milk or cream produced on the farm to the same dairy factory as that to which he delivered his produce in the 1939-40 season. It was permissible for him, however, to transfer his supply to a cheese factory; but if he wished to make a substantial reduction in the number of his milking herd, to use the land for a purpose other than dairying, or to transfer his supply from a cheese factory or from one creamery to another, it was necessary to _ obtain permission from the Dairy Division of the Department of Agriculture. These restrictions are now removed; but the new order provides that so long as dairying is being carried out on any farm the farmer must deliver all milk or cream to the cheese factory or creamery, as the case may be, to which the supply was delivered during the 1940-41 season. The fact that the same premises are being used both as a creamery and a cheese factory does not enable a supplier to deliver either milk or cream from his farm as he thinks fit. He must deliver the supply in the same form as that in which it'was delivered the previous season. An occupier who, during the 1940-41 sea;on. disposed of milk or cream to a creamery, is at liberty, however, to divert his supply to a cheese factory.
