Per capita cheese sales kept right on going higher last year. After hitting 30 lbs during 2001, usage moved up to 30.56 lbs during 2002, according to new U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates.
If you know anything about the cheese business, these nice gains in sales should not come as any surprise. I looked back more than 30 years and per capita sales have increased during all but two. Cheeseheads have made a lot of good moves over the years.
