Dairy processors take raw milk and turn it into foods you can drink, spoon, scoop or spread. I’ve been lucky to meet the people and companies that make it happen.
Eight years ago, I put a carton of milk in my shopping cart without thinking about it. I sliced cheese for a sandwich and scooped ice cream for dessert with a similar lack of thought about its origins.
When dairy cooperative members sign off on investments, the dairy processing arm develops new products and formats. This yields a win for farmers, employees, customers and consumers.
Our farmers and employees appreciate the honor of being named the 2017 Dairy Foods Plant of the Year. This vote of confidence by one of our industry’s most trusted information sources reflects our entire industry’s commitment to making high-quality U.S. dairy products.
