Wikipedia description:
The Milk Marketing Board was a producer-run product marketing board, established by the Agricultural Marketing Act 1933 (23 & 24 Geo. 5. c. 31) and the Milk Marketing Scheme 1933 (SR&O 1933/789), to control milk production and distribution in the United Kingdom. It functioned as buyer of last resort in the milk market in Britain, thereby guaranteeing a minimum price for milk producers. It also participated in the development of milk products, introducing Lymeswold cheese. It was established on 6 October 1933 and was based at Thames Ditton in Surrey. A board of 15 elected producer representatives joined by three government appointees ran its affairs, supported by 12 regional committees, also democratically elected. At its final stage, the organisation encompassed four areas of activity: the marketing of producers' milk, Dairy Crest, Genus and National Milk Records. 7,000 people were employed in the operation of these businesses.
