midwest dairy expo

Farmers are leaving their homesteads and coming into St. Cloud this week for the annual Midwest Dairy Expo at the River's Edge Convention Center. The latest in heavy equipment, technology and products are on display through Thursday.

The Midwest Dairy Expo is a way to celebrate the dairy industry throughout Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa.

The old saying of "milk at mealtime" seems to be going by the wayside. Officials at the Midwest Dairy Expo in St. Cloud say milk sales in the U.S. continue to decline. However, the Director of the Minnesota Milk Producers Association Bob Lefebvre says cheese sales are keeping the dairy industry strong.

Dairy producers have moved into downtown St. Cloud. The annual Midwest Dairy Expo is underway at the River's Edge Convention Center.
