The events will celebrate the power that dairy foods bring to families, schools and communities and helping provide nutritious dairy products to those in need.
It's time to celebrate milk - real milk, that is. World Milk Day, an event established by the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) back in 2001 to recognize the importance of milk as a global food, will take place on June 1.
A recent fast-tracked major expansion added ultrafiltered skim milk concentrate to the products produced at the Michigan Milk Producers Association’s Constantine, Mich., plant.
Constantine, Mich., bills itself as the "seed corn capital of the world," producing more than 10% of the United States' supply. But this Southwest Michigan town hasn't completely "gone to seed." It also lays claim to a dairy processing powerhouse operated by the Novi, Mich.-based Michigan Milk Producers Association (MMPA).
When it comes to monikers for dairy cooperatives, Michigan Milk Producers Association (MMPA) is something of a misnomer. The name somewhat belies the fact that the Novi, Mich.-based operation serves nearly 1,600 dairy farmer-owners residing not only in Michigan, but also in Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin.
