Wow,Dean Foods and Cargill along with Monsanto have totally killed the AG business in Wisconsin. All of the Dairies are now controlled by Dean Foods withone expectation,Organic Valley. You knew this was coming,all of the School contracts in the South East were given to a Dean subsidiary by Walker Cronies. Organic gives to Dem causes,along with some of the small Cheese Makers(sharp cheddar),this gives Sargento(Kraft) the wide open market. These assholes control the Cheese Exchange in Green Bay,just more theft be the 1%ers. Nothing more than baybacks for the Walker thugs.
