Bongards dairy co-op in Minnesota hit peak milk processing at 5.3 million pounds daily in 2025, up from 1.5 million in 2012, due to a $125 million expansion.
Bongards, a Minnesota dairy cooperative, reached peak production in 2025, processing 5.3 million pounds of milk daily—up from 1.5 million in 2012—thanks to a $125 million expansion completed in 2023.
The upgrades, including new milk bays, packaging systems, and a high-efficiency whey dryer, boosted daily output by 30% while increasing staff by only 15% to 174 employees.
Advanced heat recovery and a refurbished 1970s-era dryer improved energy efficiency, allowing greater output with similar energy use.
The plant, serving about 255 dairy farmers, operates continuously, supporting local agriculture and global competitiveness.
