If the World Dairy Expo is considered to be the Super Bowl of milk, Turner Dairy Farms of Penn Hills is a champion.
At the expo and another highly competitive national dairy contest, the family dairy farm won a total of 11 national awards for its milk and dairy products. Turner was awarded seven gold medals at the 2013 Los Angeles International Dairy Competition in September, and a week later, it took four Top Three awards at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis.
Brad Legreid, executive director of the Wisconsin Dairy Products Association, said the World Dairy Expo is not just a cheese-tasing party but is more like the Super Bowl of milk.
"We are the only association in North America that represents the full dairy industry for both individual farmers and private companies like Kraft," he said. "Eleven years ago, we decided to create a competition to represent all dairy products on a national level. In 2003, we had 100 entries and this year we had 820."
