CO-OP CHEESE PLANT, STEPHENSON COUNTY 

 Among the oldest cooperatives in Illinois are the cheese factories tucked 

 away in picturesque, rolling lo Daviess, Stephenson and Winnebago counties. 

 A century ago these counties had few dairy cows. Gradually, dairying 

 replaced beef production and cooperative cheese plants were built to pro- 

 vide markets for milk. More 

 than 30 of these co-ops, like the 

 Peck Cheese Co. plant shown, 

 are still operating. The co-ops 

 are now considering with the 

 lAA, ways and means in qual- 

 ity improvement and the sale 

 of their annual output.
