Land O'Lakes

But the idea that Oatly would magically prosper if the world replaced cow milk with oat milk and all the dairy subsidies flowed to the oat farmers is just not true.

In the world of dairy, the biggest players are the processors like Land O' Lakes, Nestle, Dannon and Coca-Cola.

Even though these companies own some of the most popular, recognizable brands like Fairlife and Horizon, they don't own any farms.

They simply buy the raw milk from the dairy farmers, and then they do their own processing and enhancements before packaging and distributing it to customers in the form of branded milk, butter, ice cream, and yogurt.

They source the raw oats, they buy the vegetable oil and enzymes from suppliers, and they process everything together before packaging, branding, and distributing the finished product to customers.

Dean Foods, until its bankruptcy in 2019, was the largest dairy processor in the U.S.

They owned the biggest cow milk brands like Horizon, Trumu, Land O' Lakes and Dairy Pure, but even they couldn't make it work in spite of the subsidies and government support.

The business idea behind Dean Foods was simple.

And then I want to find the best cheese that I can find to use that on the best bread.

So like I turn to, I love the Land O'Lakes products.

I think they're perfect every time for when I'm doing things like this.

Like I use their extra melt shreds on our brisket grilled cheese.

It's the best.

I think that's where I get to have the most fun and I get to be the most playful.

And like I mentioned earlier with that brisket grilled cheese using the Land O'Lakes products, it's the same thing.

When I'm making really fun, cool sandwiches and I'm able to find the best ingredients in that category and use them and show off a little bit more of my chef mindset and things that I can – bring to the table, if you will, to add some really fun pizzazz to all those barbecue flares and the things that we do.

Land O'Lakes Swiss cheese.

This expired Christmas of last year.

A tip led us to the Marietta Middle School dumpster.

A Reserve Extreme Irish Cheddar from Lanco, Penland took the top prize at the National Milk Producers Federation Annual Dairy Product Competition.

Land O'Lakes and California Dairies received Reserve Chairman Award recognitions for their sharp cheddar and Danish 85% salted butter.

The winners were celebrated at the joint annual meeting and cheese reception, where more than 700 attendees sampled the winning products.

The best butter went to California Dairies.

That tastes like garbage to me.

I like the old school Land O'Lakes, lady.

I just see her and I grab it.

I've never looked at the price and said, you know, how much is butter? Like, what I'm saying is I wouldn't know the difference between when I picked it up and when I got to the counter.

So now you're going to have some fan-friendly songs.

What did we talk about the PC thing earlier? What was the thing? And I said I have something coming up about that where they replaced somebody.

Oh, the Land O'Lakes lady.

Land O'Lakes.

And the, at the best she's gonna show, show up with a 2-4 team, which is not what anybody expected.

If they show up 1-5 in Land O'Lakes against Pittsburgh, I don't know if Mickey Loomis and, a- and Callum Morby invited on the plane back home.

I, I really don't.

It's a bye week, and it's gonna hit the fan, I think.
