Definition of "dairyer"

The ability to determine the composition of milk and its products, to such an extent as will serve practical purposes, is a very desirable acquirement for the dairyer.

1894, John Oliver, Milk, Cheese and Butter, page 334

We admit it, but the Cheddar system does not seek quantity so much as quality; and when any dairyer takes to cutting tools in order to gain that advantage, he forsakes the Cheddar system and has no longer a right to call his product Cheddar.

1972, John Ehle, The cheeses and wines of England and France

The great object of the dairyer must be to produce, good, wholesome milk, and afterwards to keep it pure and free from contamination.
