Mozzarella To Morocco

Cooperatives Working TogetherYou’ve got to love an organization that has “working together” in it’s name. There’s so much “not working together” going on in the world today. However, in the working together department Dow AgroScience and Monsanto made a big announcement today too. But back to Cooperatives Working Together. Here’s their announcement today:

Cooperatives Working Together announced Tuesday that it has accepted a bid from Foremost Farms USA of Baraboo, WI, to export 20 metric tons (approximately 44,000 pounds) of mozzarella cheese to Morocco. CWT will pay the export bonus to the bidder, once completion of the cheese shipment is verified. This is the first export assistance bid accepted by CWT in 2006, and the seventh in the past two months. It is also the first dairy product to be exported by CWT to Morocco, and the first to be exported through Foremost Farms, a member of CWT.
