Meet the Team

At Dairyland Trading, we take the business of dairy trading seriously—but ourselves? Not so much. Our team is proof that when you mix respect, a little humor, and a shared passion for what we do, you create a workplace where people love their job and do it well. Whether we’re negotiating deals, solving problems for clients, or debating the best cheese for a grilled cheese sandwich, we keep things professional and fun.

Jerry Haines 

CEO

With over 30 years in the cheese and dairy industry, Jerry is a seasoned expert in everything from aging and grading to sales and procurement. Having worked with Good Home Foods, Saputo Cheese USA, Winona Foods, and Titletown Cheese, he’s the go-to guy for all things dairy. Passionate about bringing value back to the industry, Jerry’s knowledge runs deep.

 

A Wisconsin native who grew up on a small farm in Lena, he’s a devoted fan of the Packers, Badgers, Bucks, and Brewers. When it comes to cheese to snack on, his top pick is Harmony Cheese’s aged cheddar.
