October 11, 2007 – Senator Robbins, (third from right) and Representative Michele Brooks (4th from left) joined Secretary of Agriculture Dennis Wolff (5th from left), company and local officials at the ground breaking of the Fairview Swiss Cheese Plant in Mercer County. The $2.2 million project involves an anaerobic digester that will use cheese whey from the plant and cone batter waste from Joy Cone Co. to make 40 million cubic feet of biogas annually. The biogas will be used in a boiler to produce steam and electricity for processing milk into cheese.
