America Faces Surplus Of Cheese With Record Dairy Production

THERESA, WI - JUNE 27: A worker scoops up a pail of Colby cheese curds that will be pressed into 40 pound blocks of cheese at the Widmer's Cheese Cellars on June 27, 2016 in Theresa, Wisconsin. Widmer's is an artisanal cheesemaker that has produced cheese in the same facility for four generations much the same way as it was made by the founder, with traditional open vats and curds being stirred and scooped into molds by hand. Record dairy production in the United States has produced a record surplus of cheese causing prices to drop. Despite this surplus Widmer's says it continues to see growth as consumers continue to gravitate toward craft-made products. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
