The 2023 Dairy Processor Tour presented by Professional Dairy Producers®(PDPW) will provide a unique opportunity for dairy producers and industry professionals to learn about the latest innovations from three innovative dairy processors in Wisconsin.
The tour will feature stops at:
- Henning's Cheese in Kiel, Wis., is a fourth-generation cheesemaker that sources milk from dairy farms within a 30-mile radius of the factory and handcrafts each batch of cheese.
- Lamers Dairy in Appleton, Wis., processes milk in plastic bottles as well as returnable glass bottles.
- Agropur in Luxemburg, Wis., an 85,000-square-foot facility that receives 3.75 million pounds of milk a day to make cheese and dairy ingredients.
Participants will learn about the most critical needs of these processors as they aim to answer the demands of consumers around the world. They will also get an inside look at how bottled milk, cheese, and other dairy products are made, and gain insights on the challenges and opportunities for this key segment in the dairy industry.
The tour is scheduled for Thursday, October 26, leaving from Fox Valley Tech – Chilton Regional Center in Chilton, Wis., at 8:00 a.m. and returning at 3:45 p.m. Transportation, materials, and lunch will be provided.
