Dairy leaders say milk processors put competition aside to help the farmers no longer selling milk to Grassland Dairy Products.
Dairy Business Milk Marketing Cooperative President John Pagel (PAH’ gull) tells Brownfield Wisconsin’s processors quickly stepped up. “What’s kind of neat is a lot of these people are in competition, but yet when it came time to join together to find a solution for the industry, then everybody let the competition lay low and worked together to take care of the people inside the industry.”
During the processor meetings, Pagel says they did talk about possibly asking farmers to hold the line on production.
