President Dowaine Giraud and other members argued the investments protect and grow Wisconsin cheese markets, with emphasis on branding.

Wisconsin Cheese Market Signals Strong Sales and Wider Price Gap
Wisconsin industry veteran Jim Tillison notes robust cheese demand as brokers stock cheese for future sales. Barrels fetch about 1.17 per pound while 40 pound blocks reach 1.24, widening the barrel to block spread beyond typical spring levels. He cites strong buyer activity and expectations of a stable support price despite herd buyouts.

The event featured former charter members, state competition honors, living alumni, and the 1986 87 officer slate led by President Jim Koenig.
