Combining the strength of three longstanding dairy cooperatives, FarmFirst Dairy Cooperative represents the broadest and deepest level of experience in milk marketing history, combining a total of 219 years of rich heritage. Members of Family Dairies USA Cooperative, Manitowoc Milk Producers Cooperative, and Milwaukee Cooperative Milk Producers successfully voted to merge the three cooperatives in December 2012. The membership vote to merge the three cooperatives affirmed the members’ goals for industry success through collaboration. Collectively, the strength of the three organizations became one unified and powerful voice in FarmFirst Dairy Cooperative.
