Co-operative Dairy Association

The first Co-operative Dairy Association was

opened in 1909. There was friendly rivalry to see who

would be the first to deliver cream to the factory. The

late A. B. Anderson arrived bright and early with his

supply on the opening morning, only to find that Mr. C.

Kieseker had taken the precaution to leave a three gallon can of cream on the loading platform overnight,

thereby becoming the first supplier. Mr. Kieseker has

been chairman of the Association on several occasions

since. The highest output of butter was 573 tons in

t he year 1939. Cream is drawn principally from the

Wallumbilla and Injune districts, where there are many

modern dairies equipped with refrigeration for cream

cooling and holding, and there are a large number of

well bred, and improved herds. The present building

of the Association is an up-to-date brick structure,

equipped with modern plant.
