Prairie Farms and its family of
companies won 62 awards in 38 of the contest's 96 classes during the World Dairy Expo
Dairy Product Contest. Prairie Farms received more awards
than any other company. The final tally was 22
first-place awards, 23 second-place awards, and 17 third-place awards.
"Earning recognition from the prestigious World Dairy Expo Dairy Product Contest directly reflects the hard
work behind our farm-to-table commitment. With these awards, our dairy products are officially recognized as
the 'Best of the Best,' and for that, we thank the judges," said Matt McClelland, Prairie Farms' CEO/executive vice president. "Our dairy farmers provide high-quality milk, allowing our team members to
produce award-winning dairy products, and they deserve credit for the awards. Since Prairie Farms is
celebrating our 85th Anniversary in 2023, receiving this record-breaking number of 62 WDE awards is an
important milestone, and I couldn't be prouder of our farmer-owners and employees."
