Wisconsin Cheese Facts

Wisconsin is the Dairy State and well known for it's cheese.  But how much do you know about Wisconsin Cheese?

Wisconsin produces about 2 billion pounds of cheese a year.  Our 1290 licenced cheese makers (the most in any state) make 26% of all our country's cheese. And it takes 10 pounds of whole milk to make one pound of cheese.

Find these and more Wisconsin fun Cheese and Dairy facts on the Ehlenbach Cheese website Cheese Facts

Looking for comments on Statewide Outdoor Rec Plan

Statistics show that 85% of Wisconsinites head outdoors for recreation. The State of Wisconsin is trying to keep pace with plans for Wisconsin's parks and lakes and have currently drafted a new Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) for the public to review.  Some new ideas include: adventure racing for individuals and groups, driving for pleasure, developed/RV camping, kayaking, and visiting dog park.

Check out the 2011-2016 draft SCORP here and make your feelings known.
