Wisconsin cheese-makers were busier in November than they were a year ago – but not by much. Cheese production in the Badger State was four-tenths-of-one-percent higher than the previous year, at just over 217-million pounds.
But Wisconsin’s increase was virtually nil compared to the national hike of six-percent for November, and 10.5 percent in California – the number-two cheese producer behind Wisconsin.
The Badger State’s output of Italian cheeses was up by just over four-percent. American cheeses were down by five-point-seven percent – and Wisconsin’s Cheddar production was down eight-point-seven percent from the same month in 2009.
Third-place Idaho saw its total cheese out-put rise by two-point-three percent. New York was up six-percent, and New Mexico had a whopping 23-percent increase.
