The Dairy Farmers of America, Inc. plant in Schulenburg, TX is undergoing a $39.4 million renovation. The project includes expanding the physical space and installing new equipment at the facility.

Construction began in early May and is slated for completion in early 2010.
Bruce Foods, Wilson NC, is adding 11,000 sq.ft. of manufacturing space and a renewable energy system. A new 6 million-gallon digester is part of the improvements to the plant’s water treatment system and will decrease the need for natural gas.
