N.Y. Says It’s No. 1 in Yogurt Output, Tops Calif.
New York says it’s now number one nationally in yogurt production.
Statistics released Thursday show New York producers churned out 692 million pounds of yogurt last year to take the top spot. California was second after producing 587 million pounds.
New York yogurt plants have nearly tripled production in the last five years after Gov. Andrew Cuomo lifted some environmental regulations regarding cattle waste that allow dairy farms to produce more milk. Farmers will be able to milk more cows without having to build substantially larger barns.
New York is also the fourth-largest milk producer in the country. Over the last five years, milk production increased by 1 billion pounds to over 13 billion pounds in 2012.
