Wisconsin Dairies Buys Clayton Italian Cheese Plant
Wisconsin Dairies Co op expanded by purchasing Universal Foods Clayton cheese plant in eastern Polk County. About 50 workers remain, patrons have one month to decide whether to stay with the co op, and Universal will keep buying Clayton cheeses while Cumberland plant reopens. The move adds 12th production site for the co op and shifts milk flow to Clayton for Italian cheese production.

Westbound Christmas trees bound for Salt Lake City haul
A semi truck loaded with about 950 Jackson County Christmas trees stopped behind another truck in Hixton last Tuesday. The convoy aims to reach Salt Lake City by Thursday and store the trees in cold storage until closer to Christmas. Each tree sells for 20 to 25 cents. The two rigs picked up the cargo from a grower between Alma Center and Northfield.
