Exports are key part of the cheese business for Nasonville Dairy in Marshfield. Master Cheesemaker Ken Heiman exports cheese all over the U.S., China, Canada and Saudi Arabia, to name a few. He says exports look good right now. And he praises the state for investing $5 million in DATCP to increase dairy, meat and other ag products by 25 percent within five years. Half of that money is directed specifically toward dairy. He says Wisconsin dairy farmers and processors are good enough to compete with the world in new markets rather than taking markets away from each other.
