California cheese plan sparks state leaders and industry debate
Wisconsin dairy leaders react to California's promotion push for real California cheese with enthusiasm and concern. Sargento's Lee Gentine calls the program aggressive yet promising, while California official Adri Boudewyn notes California relies on imports from Wisconsin and others. The plan outlines 20 to 25 million dollars next year to boost California cheese and reach a 40 percent California market share in five years, funded by California dairy farmers and supported by competing ad spending from Wisconsin and Oregon.
