One thing left out of this AP report is that much of Caifornia's success in dairy farming, according to a farmer acquaintance of mine, comes from irrigation.
Wisconsin gets it's water, for the most part, from the ground beneath.
From AP:
Aided by savvy marketing, California says it will soon pass Wisconsin to become the nation's top cheese producer.
''California cheeses are really looked upon as coming of age,'' said Christine Hyatt, a grocery consultant.
But Patrick Geoghegan of the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board said, ''The title 'America's Dairyland' is about more than just producing the greatest amount. . . . It's about cheese quality, quality, quality.''
