Kasson raises quality milk premiums for higher yield
Kasson Cheese Co Inc Brillion boosts its quality milk program amid demand for Mozzarella. The plant now offers a top 35 cent premium for milk with somatic cell counts under 100000 and a 15 cent top bonus for high quality milk, while imposing a 35 cent penalty for counts above one million. An advisory group of 10 farm families met to align farmer incentives with lower somatic cell counts, aiming to increase cheese yield and profits for producers.
