Michigan Milk Producers Association gets new tank

Workers from Elkhart-based Days Machinery Movers, along with Crane Industrial Service have erected a 72-foot- tall tank at Michigan Milk Producers Association in Constantine.
The tank weighs 28,000 pounds and holds 50,000 gallons of milk, according to Bill VanHusan, of Days Machinery Movers.
Nearly $10 million is being invested in MMPA and Foremost Farms USA dairy cooperatives, following a July 30 alliance.
Foremost Farms is installing reverse osmosis technology at MMPA’s milk processing plant in Constantine.
The technology concentrates three loads of milk into one by removing water and concentrating the milk solids in order to reduce the cost of long- haul milk transportation by two- thirds, according to company officials.
