in Order 2, beating the last record
set in 1981 by 17 cents. This in spite
of a 50 cent cut in the support price
since then. Which just goes to show
what a little change in the sup
ply/demand situation can do for
prices. Now, if we could only learn
to do it without paying 50 cents a
hundred to get the higher prices in
the market. When you take out the

November. This showed up in the
Class II price for November milk
and will boost your January Class I
price to $14.97, which will also be a
record high for Order 2. The in
creases are coming largely,
however, from market im
provements in supply and demand
made during the summer and into
the fall. Changes are beginning to
appear that indicate we’ll have to
make further cuts in production if
we want to maintain the present
momentum. Butter prices the first
week of December dropped 17
cents to below price support levels,
but don’t let that spoil your
holiday. Enjoy what you got in
December and have a Merry
Christmas.
