Wisconsin's year-to-year cheese production has risen every month in 2015. New figures from the U-S-D-A show that the Badger State pumped out over 251.5-million pounds of cheese in May. That's 4-percent more than a year ago — more than twice the national increase of 1.8-percent.

Italian cheeses made up just over half of Wisconsin's total output. Mozzarella, American, and Cheddar cheese production were all up as well. The Badger State had just over 25-percent of the nation's total of 989-million pounds.
