Hiking
Until the 1970s, milk was not transported in 40-ton tankers, but elaborately in cans.
Collection process:
The dairy farmers placed the full cans on the side of the road or at the milk collection point. The milk truck, often a smaller truck or even a horse-drawn carriage in earlier times, picked them up.
Dairy trips: The cans were taken to the dairy, emptied, cleaned and often returned the next day. The transport was labor-intensive, as each can had to be lifted individually.
