Truscott, who returned from New Zealand today, said the company was em’barking on an entirely new method of collecting milk from farms, which envisaged the building of 1200 stainless steel holding tanks on farms in a 12-mile area which, at peak produce 100,000 gallons of milk a day. ’ The milk would be transferred from these by motorised pumps to trailers, each holding 1500 gallons. The first deliveries of the trailers will be made next April.
