Dairy Awards Already Piling Up For New York Producers At State Fair

BATAVIA — Dairy showmen and prize-winning cows have yet to arrive in Syracuse, but the area’s bounty of milk, cheese and dairy products have already started to rack up blue ribbons at The New York State Fair.

The Buffalo-based cooperative’s best sour cream scored a 100.0 that edged out both a 99.0 product from Saputo’s Allegany County facility and a 99.5 that also came from Upstate Farms.
