“The changed outlook for the export of dairy produce necessitates a change in policy in the Lands Department, at least for the immediate future. I do not consider we are justified in increasing materially the national output of dairy products. Both the Lands Department and the Small Farms Board have determined to vary their future operations by going in for mixed farming rather than concentrating on dairying. Larger holdings will necessitate increasing the area of sections in blocks now ready for selection.”—Hon. E. A. Ransom, Minister of Lands.
