CARLINVILLE, Ill. – The World Dairy Expo and 2015 state fairs have wrapped up and Prairie Farms, a nationally recognized leader in the dairy industry, today announced it received over 100 dairy contest awards – taking top honors in many categories for its high quality milk and dairy products. The World Dairy Expo judging was held in August and six first place trophies and eleven second and third place medallions were awarded to Prairie Farms on September 29th in Madison, Wisconsin. Earlier this year, the company won over 100 state fair ribbons in numerous categories at the Illinois, Kentucky and Missouri State Fairs.
The World Dairy Expo Championship Dairy Product Contest, sponsored by the Wisconsin Dairy Products Association, is the only judging contest of its kind in North America, since no other national contest includes all dairy products. There were 1000 product entries in 72 dairy categories. Prairie Farms received awards for white and chocolate milk, whipping cream, half & half, cottage cheese, sour cream dips and ice cream. Prairie Farms Lowfat Strawberry Yogurt achieved a near perfect score of 99.6 points.
"Receiving the World Dairy Expo Awards and state fair ribbons speaks volumes about the dedication of our farm families and employees. The prestigious awards are a reflection of our commitment to quality," said Ed Mullins, Prairie Farms Executive Vice President and CEO. "We’re proud of the role we play in providing families with the finest milk and dairy products available in the United States and I am gratified that our commitment to quality was recognized by the esteemed contest judges.”
