DFA's Acquisition of W&W Dairy: An Employment Commitment

Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) recently affirmed its commitment to retaining and expanding the workforce at Wisconsin's W&W Dairy, following its acquisition of the manufacturing facility in Monroe, Wis. The transition, set to complete by September 2025, involves the seamless integration of W&W employees into DFA, ensuring no job losses. Despite media misreports blaming new policies for potential job losses, DFA clarifies it merely adheres to federal employment eligibility checks required nationwide. The cooperative, a major player in the global dairy market, highlights its vested interest in addressing labor challenges amid ongoing immigration debates, aiming to ensure the fluid operation of its 80-plus manufacturing plants across the U.S. Additionally, DFA reaffirms its commitment to the nutrition, sustainability, and the support of its 9,500 farmer-owners.
