The USDA reports that Wisconsin's dairy plants are still producing more cheese products on a monthly basis than they did a year earlier.According to the WisconsinAg Connection, the agency's latest dairy product summary noted that Wisconsin churned out 283 million pounds of cheese in August--which was up 0.5 percent from August 2017, but 0.6 percent less than this past July. Nationally, about 1.08 billion pounds of cheese was produced in the United States in July.
That was 2.8 percent more than the same month last year, but 0.7 percent below the previous month's production totals. Dry Whey output in Wisconsin was recorded at 26 million pounds, which was down 13.8 percent from last year, and 4.4 percent less compared to last month.
