Rewind Series 3 Episode 8 – Dairy Industry
Our thanks to the Glamx Lab of University of Newcastle and The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia for digitising our early years.
In our early years of broadcast, NBN NEWS took pride in reporting on the many aspects of The Dairy industry.
Along the Manning, river boats collected freshly filled milk cans from dairy farms in the Taree region.
In Singleton, the dairy Co-operative installed huge vats, to be used in the production of their award winning cheese.
And at the Oak, School children from Barraba, learnt about the production of butter.
International dairy leaders praised local product and increased production created opportunities as technology improved, distributors found new methods of packaging.
From field to factory, our cameras told the story of The Dairy industry, an important agribusiness for farmers and consumers in our region.
