The restaurant has different owners than the Kroll’s location near Lambeau Field. Kroll’s East has been owned by the same family for three generations. Kroll’s will reportedly continue to operate as normal until a committed buyer is found.

Whole milk coming back to schools

Wisconsin dairy farmers got a boost from the White House this week as President Donald Trump signed a bill allowing whole milk to be served in schools. The “Whole Milk for Healthy Kids” Act returns whole and 2% milk to school lunches, overturning previous limits on higher-fat milk options for students. Jamie Witcpalek, a northeast Wisconsin dairy farmer from Casco, was in the Oval Office as the president signed the bill. Witcpalek is a member of the Edge Dairy Cooperative. The group says this bill will help keep the dairy market active, which is especially needed now with current low milk prices.
