It was a small beginning 100 some years ago when the John Wuethrich Creamery Company, Inc. first began picking up cream to make Grassland Butter.

Horse drawn wagons and sleighs gave way to small trucks, then larger ones. Wooden cream cans gave way to stainless steel tanks. Old vane churns are gone, replaced by three large continuous churns that operate side by side. Finished butter in 60 pound wooden tubs were replaced with customer packages. Today modern butter printers package the freshly made butter into virtually any size or type container needed for consumer or institutional use. The plant has grown from a small wooden structure to an ever-growing complex of mortar and steel.

Maintaining our commitment to advance with technology, and also bring added service to our customers, Grassland has installed two new systems. The evaporator system was installed in 1987. It gives us the ability to custom process our buttermilk into a premium product. In late 1993, the newest process was added to our facility, the butteroil system. With this system we are now able to produce butteroil and anhydrous milkfat. Both systems have increased capability in accommodating the food service industry.

Grassland Dairy Products, Inc. with over 150 employees, is family-owned and currently being run by the third and fourth generation of the Wuethrich line. With 100 years of skill and knowledge in the butter business, along with today's advanced technology, Grassland Strives to give service hand-in-hand with our commitment to be the best place to sell surplus cream, or purchase butter products and buttermilk concentrate.
