Yesterday's groundbreaking for Chobani's major, $567 million expansion of its Norton Shores, MI La Colombe Coffee facility is incredible news for Michigan agriculture. This investment is especially positive for our state's dairy farmers and all those working with them across animal nutrition, ag retail, transportation and beyond.

In addition to creating hundreds of West Michigan jobs, this project will greatly increase the company's milk purchases, from around 30 million lbs. annually to 615 million lbs, cumulatively, in the coming years.

Our MABA team was glad to be part of Tuesday's special event alongside Michigan dairy farmers, local Chobani employees and a bipartisan group of local, state and federal leaders. A highlight of the day was hearing directly from Chobani CEO Hamdi Ulukaya about his incredible journey of entrepreneurship and his people-focused leadership that has steered Chobani to where it is today. We thank Chobani for partnering with Michigan agriculture and look forward to what the future holds.

We appreciate all those who joined Tuesday’s Ag Club Breakfast in Lansing! MABA was glad to welcome special guest Erin Mies with People Spark Consulting for a presentation at breakfast. People Spark has led two different workshops for our members this year, providing important leadership and workplace communication insights. Programs like yesterday’s are made possible in part by our 2026 Sustaining Sponsors, so we also took a moment yesterday to recognize and thank them for supporting the association’s efforts.
