Yards and Lanes

2017 Letter from DFO Chair Ralph Dietrich

Notice of Farm Yard and Lane Non Compliance

January 30, 2019

We continue to find yards and lanes that are poorly prepared for the Milk Truck and Driver.   We have already been off laneways and stuck requiring professional towing at high cost.  Drivers have been injured falling at Producer yards. We need your attention to the yards and laneways to avoid costs and be efficient.   

  A well prepared yard is an easy way to say          "Thankyou" to your driver.
