CASS CITY, MICH. — Dairy Farmers of America has broken ground on a $40 million plant in Cass City. When operational, the 33,000-square-foot plant will process 3 million lbs of milk into whole and skim milk as well as cream.
“This plant will provide a local home for our members’ milk, answering the growing need for Michigan plant capacity while building a base for value-added processing in the future,” said Mark Korsmeyer, executive vice-president of D.F.A. “Furthermore, the project is consistent with D.F.A.’s strategic plan, creating supply chain efficiencies and increasing commercial investments to bring increased value to our farmer owners.”
