The asset purchase of Dean Foods by the Dairy Farmers of America would be a win-win situation for all dairy farms in Door and Kewaunee counties. DFA announced a $425-million purchase of 44 Dean Foods production facilities, real estate, and other business operations and all other assets needed to operate the company. Rich Olson, of the Olson Farm near Sturgeon Bay, says keeping Dean Foods in operation benefits farmers who are not milk producers for the company.
The proposed purchase of Dean Foods by Dairy Farmers of America is scheduled to go before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on March 12th.
