The Pine Belt closure, along with a closure in Dothan, Alabama, could impact southeast U.S. milk distribution. In early August just as students were returning to school, Borden Dairy announced the closure of its Hattiesburg, Mississippi processing facility by September 30th. GFB notes that Milkshedsblog shared that the Hattiesburg closure, along with the closure in Dothan, Alabama, will affect dairies in Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi. They say Borden products have a distribution area which covers a wide swath of the lower southeast, including the Gulf Coast. Founded in 1857 by Gail Borden, Jr., Borden produces more than 35 wholesome and delicious products enjoyed by millions of people every day.
