| Wisconsin Milk Production Could Exceed Plant Capacity |
| America’s Dairyland could overflow its own milk capacity within the next few years, according to projections in a report prepared by the University of Wisconsin’s Bob Cropp.
The Wisconsin Cheese Plant Capacity and Future Milk Production report released in July indicated that the reversal of a decade-long trend of declining milk and cow numbers may mean that milk production could exceed the state’s current ability to process it.

| Loss in Immigrant Labor Force Means Loss for Wisconsin's Economy |
|
Wisconsin’s economy could lose $7 billion and 40,000 jobs if federal immigration policy is not reformed, according to an estimate from the National Milk Producers Federation.
A drop in milk output due to a partial loss of the labor force, combined with the potential decline in dairy processing, could be the result if the need for farm workers is not considered in immigration policy reform. Approximately 30 percent of Wisconsin’s dairy work force is hired, and NMPF gauges that half of those workers are immigrants.
