Evers visit Eau Galle Cheese Factory, talks industry future

Gov. Tony Evers visited Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association member Eau Galle Cheese Factory at its production facility in Durand on Nov. 22 for a tour and discussion of dairy industry challenges and opportunities.

“Our family has a history and passion for cheesemaking, and we’re eager to grow our business here in Wisconsin,” said Steve Bechel, Vice President of Operations for Eau Galle Cheese Factory and WCMA First Vice President. “With reasonable regulation and targeted investments in the dairy industry, the state can help us overcome the challenges of dynamic changes in international trade and a widespread workforce shortfall.”
