The Michigan Milk Producers Association has recognized its 100th Anniversary this week during a special program at Michigan State University. The cooperative was founded in that same building 100 years prior on May 23, 1916.
"With great pride MMPA marks this occasion and we celebrate the day when the innovative dairy leaders of 1916 began our cooperative," said Ken Nobis, MMPA president and dairy farmer. "Today, we acknowledge our humble beginnings and the vast
challenges and opportunities that have shaped our organization to this day. Tomorrow, we will continue to work on behalf of our dairy farmer member-owners and support the agriculture and dairy industry."
In recognition of MMPA's 100th anniversary, Nobis announced MMPA's planned donation of $100,000 to MSU.
The member-owned milk-marketing cooperative serving approximately 2,000 dairy farmers in Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana and Ohio.
