Dairy Foods nominated 13 dairy processing plants that manufacture fluid milk, cheese, ice cream and/or cultured dairy products. All have been featured on dairyfoods.com over the previous 17 months.
Which plant will be Dairy Foods’ 2018 Dairy Plant of the Year? Will it be a small fluid milk processing facility in Phoenix or a large cheesemaker in Wisconsin? Those are just two of the 13 dairy plants that are in the running for Dairy Foods’ Plant of the Year.
The magazine invites readers to vote for the most deserving candidates in an online poll that will run through June 25. The votes help Dairy Foods’ editors determine which plant will receive the award.
