In this section, a small Chinese man called Chew Chong makes a huge impact on the Taranaki dairy industry – with the help of fungus and by spreading the word on butter-making hygiene. Another man with deep dairying roots has to take over the family farm when he is just 11 years old – then works through extraordinary changes in methods and machinery. A giant of a man survives a miserable childhood to find love and land in South Taranaki, where he heartily embraces the idea of sharemilking. An Eltham man turns milking methods around with a moving invention – and takes the world by storm.
This section will expand over time to cover the innovators and inroads made in tending the land.
