Images Of The Past: Valley Queen Cheese

Valley Queen Cheese, Milbank

In The Moment ... April 4, 2019 Show 549 Hour 1

One of South Dakota's most successful ag ventures is celebrating 90 years of continuous operation in Milbank. The Valley Queen cheese factory has been an economic pillar for Milbank and northeastern South Dakota since 1929.

Valley Queen is a multi-million dollar venture today, but it started humbly on the hopes and dreams of two Swiss immigrants who hadn't planned to set up shop in Milbank at all.
