Hi-Land Dairy Association in 16 years has "grown fronvan idea into a major factor in the West's dairy business", members were told at the annual meeting of the association at Salt Lake City. Reports to membership showed that 1955 was the top-volume year for Hi-Land, with business for the year just closed 190 per cent above that of 1950. Plans for continued marketing development of all products were laid as members mem-bers approved the 1956 program.

Principal plant is at Murray where, in addition to fluid milk products, the company also produces cottage cheese, ice cream, buttermilk and specialty products.
