Abstract

This chapter analyses meat and dairy farming in the 1950s and 1960s. Federated Farmers was shocked when the Government did not ask the Federation’s consent to use surpluses built up from finance stabilisation policies during wartime. Farmers pressed for full dairy farming costs to be recognised, but the Government did not want to continue linking its ‘guaranteed price’ for dairy produce with farm costs. Prices paid to farmers would depend largely on overseas realisations for their produce. The 1960s were marked for the dairy industry by many attempts by Federated Farmers to bring to the attention of Government the relatively low incomes of dairyfarmers and to seek relief. Farmers encouraged also schemes to eradicate bovine tuberculosis, brucellosis and leptospirosis.
