Plant of the Year
Cast your vote for the 2019 Dairy Plant of the Year
Dairy Foods nominated 13 dairy processing plants that manufacture fluid milk, cheese, ice cream or cultured dairy products. All of the plants have been featured on dairyfoods.com over the previous 17 months.
Which plant will be Dairy Foods’ 2019 Dairy Plant of the Year? Will it be a large cheesemaking operation headquartered in Iowa or a family-run ice cream plant based in Ohio? Those are just two of the 13 dairy plants that are in the running for Dairy Foods’ 2019 Dairy Plant of the Year.
