Glanbia Nutritionals is entering the Michigan project as a joint venture with the Dairy Farmers of America, Michigan Milk Producers Association and Foremost Farms.

The final site for the project has not been selected yet, but according to the local news reports there are there are three in the running in central Lower Michigan.

According to the United Dairy Industry of Michigan the state has around 420,000 cows. Governor Rick Snyder addressed last month that Michigan cows second to only Colorado's in terms of milk production sarcastically that Colorado would have to "moove on over."

Jamie Clover Adams the Director of Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development explained after the Governor Snyder’s comments last month that that reflected the milk produced per cow.

Clover Adams said "The significance of that is that the more productive they are, just like anything else, more efficient they are [it] lowers your cost of production,"

Because of the genetics, feed and "cow comfort" the production in milk increased.

She said the dairy industry in Michigan is $15.7 billion business, and the demand for dairy products is going worldwide.
