DAIRY FACTORY CLOSED
PLANT AT WAIPUKURATJ TREND TO SHEEP FARMING After manufacturing for many years, the Waipukurau dairy factory has ceased operations. The buildings will continue to be used, but m future will serve only as a receiving and grading depot for all cream, which will be forwarded on to the headquarters of the Heretaunga Dairy Company, hi Hastings.
The decision to close the factory as a manufacturing establishment was reached by the directorate after due consideration had been given to several factors influencing the position. One of these was the steadily growing number of farmers who were going out of the industry in favour of sheepfarming. and another was the fact that the output of the factory had suffered through exceptionally dry seasons.
