So, where do you think the cheese on a McDonald’s cheeseburger comes from?
Would you guess southwest Minnesota? If yes, you’re right!
A successful company in Litchfield (a community in our southwest Minnesota region with a population of 6,555) invested $18 million in a 2008 expansion. Today, another $32 million expansion is being constructed. This awesome company, First District Association dairy co-op, produces and ships 144 million pounds of cheese annually. The current expansion will boost processing by 25-30 percent, up to 5 million pounds of milk a day.
