UWRF's dairy pilot plant is up and running
12 Mar 2024
Pierce, pierce county
The University of Wisconsin-River Falls’ dairy pilot plant, which officially opened this past October, is up and running with new leadership and eager cheese heads. Eleven years ago there was talk to update the facility, but in 2018 operations ceased and with the COVID-19 pandemic all work to revamp the plant was paused.
The $9 million, 6,000 square-foot facility, is now operated by dairy pilot manager and longtime cheese-maker Rueben Nilsson.
