Ice cream and other dairy products might be missing a major ingredient without Michigan Milk Producers Association (MMPA). The dairy cooperative serves nearly 3,000 farmers in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin and produces a variety of milks (standardized, skim, sweet condensed, instant nonfat, dried whole), standardized cream, and ice-cream mixes. MMPA also sells its products as ingredients to food manufacturers across the US, mainly in the Midwest, who make baby formulas, candy, ice cream, and yogurt. The co-op, founded in 1916, operates two Michigan plants and provides its farmer-members with product quality incentives, testing, and customized blending, as well as protection against loss from disaster.
