The Moose Jaw Milk Producers Association was formed in 1924. Membership consisted of all farmers and dairy-men shipping milk to the creameries in Moose Jaw. The object was to promote better relations between the dairy-men and the creamery. Among those involved in the formation of the association were Benjamin Hopkins Thomson, R.H. Jones and Fred H. Jones.
The Association was financed by the creamery deducting one and one-half cents per one hundred weight of milk from each dairyman’s monthly cheque.
The Association promoted the Moose Jaw Herd Improvement Association and the Moose Jaw Boys and Girls Calf Club. They were also instrumental in promoting cow testing in order to improve the butter fat production in the herd.
In 1968 a new Moose Jaw Milk Producers Association was formed with new by-laws. President was George Fagan and secretary-treasurer was E.R. Champion.
Over the years, producers costs kept rising, but their returns kept falling, as profits were going to labour and distributors.
In 1972 Moose Jaw area milk producers decreased to 21 from 78 in 1960.
The Moose Jaw Milk Producers Association disbanded in 1986. A bank account was open until 1992.
