Milk from Rosendale Dairy's herd flows into stainless tankers
that carry the milk to a regional dairy plant operated
by Foremost Farms. In addition to supporting jobs in
milk and cheese production, Rosendale Dairy benefits Wisconsin's
economy by purchasing local grain, contracting for other
goods and services and providing a ready source of affordable,
organic soil nutrients for crop farmers. Wisconsin's rural
communities need reinvestment and the development of Rosendale
Dairy also strengthens the local tax base. |
Economy
- Each cow at Rosendale has an estimated economic impact
of $17,000 per year in the community.

from Rosendale Dairy to northeast Wisconsin processors.

in the dairy industry and the state of Wisconsin.
