Prairie Farms Dairy was a big win-

ner in the World Dairy Expo Dairy

Product Contest, which unveiled the

2024 award winners on Sept. 5 in

Madison, Wis.

Prairie Farms Dairy and its family

of companies – which includes the

production facility in Battle Creek –

won 65 awards in 37 of the contest’s

93 classes, said Prairie Farms spokes-

person Darin Copeland.

Prairie Farms received more awards

than any other company, he said,

with the final tally of 19 first-place

awards, 23 second-place awards and

23 third-place awards.

“Winning 65 awards is a great

honor, and not only did we top last

year’s number of WDE awards, but

we also retained our place as the

competition’s most-awarded dairy,”

said Matt McClelland, Prairie Farms’

CEO/EVP.

The dairy cooperative, based in

Edwardsville, Ill., was founded in

1938 and operates in the Midwest

and South.

The Battle Creek facility placed

first, second and third in the Flavored

UHT Milk Awards.
