The 21 major dairy states, which produce 85 percent of the milk in the country, recorded a milk production of 9.8 billion pounds in October 1986 compared to 10.2 billion pounds in October 1985 for a 3.7 percent decrease in production. In the reporting states, the number of cows fell from 9.3 million last year to 8.9 million this year for a 4 percent drop. However, production per cow increased by three pounds from the previous year for an average of 1,099 this year. 820 820 818 812 818 817 812 817 813 817 802 816 814 Pennsylvania recorded a 2.3 percent drop in total milk production for the same period, Kirkland reported. The number of milk cows in the state dropped from 746,000 in October 1985 to 735,000 this year. However this total is up 1,000 head from Sep tember 1986. 814 806 813 813 811 811 Production per cow in Penn sylvania decreased from 1,150 pounds in 1985 to 1,040 pounds in 1986. Kirkland speculated that production per cow dropped due to herds in the buyout program. These herds may have cut back on feed to save money even though feed is ample and cheap.

For the week of Nov. 11 to 14 the CCC bought 6.1 million pounds of milk products. In the same period in 1985, CCC purchases totaled 832.5 million pounds. “The dairy situation continues to look good. It appears that we’ve gotten the surplus under control,” Kirkland said. Contributing to his positive outlook is the increased com mercial disappearance of all dairy products. He noted that in 1985 the commercial disappearance in creased 2.8 percent over 1984 levels and in 1986 the total increased by 3.3 percent over 1985. This year increases continue in all product categories. Non-fat dry milk recorded the greatest in crease to date for 1986 with an increase of 13.9 percent, Kirkland said. Prices in the three Federal Orders covering Pennsylvania increased between 35 and 65 cents from last year, the Penn State economist said. In October 1985, dairymen in Federal Order 4 received $13.84 per hundredweight for Class 1 milk and $11.29 for Class 2 for a blend price of $12.55. For the same period this year, dairymen received $14.34 for Class 1 milk and 802 802 Trend $11.77 for Class 2 for a blend price of $13.18. Class 1 utilization also jumped from 48.3 percent in 1985 to a 1986 high of 53 percent. Kirkland commented that prices are up in Federal Order 4 due to a strong demand and some milk from the Order moving into the South. Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio, Federal Order 36, recorded a milk price increase of 35 cents for Class 1 milk from $12.93 in 1985. Class 2 and 3 in creased 48 cents from $11.21. The blend price rose 49 cents over the October 1985 level of $l2.lS|. Class 1 utilization reached 58.9 percent for October 1986 compared to 54.8 percent in October 1985. The Federal Order 2 registered a 55 cent increase in Class 1 milk over last year’s price for an Oc tober 1986 price of $13.88. Class 2 milk price increased from $11.27 last year to $11.75 this year. The blend price reached $13.05 in October 1986. Dairymen in the area received an increase in the butterfat dif ferential from 16.3 cents a point last year to 17.7 cents this year. “The government isn’t buying much of anything, including butter,” Kirkland said. However the demand for butter remains strong, thus increasing the price. The Minnesota-Wisconsin price jumped 14 cents from September 1986 to $11.69 per hundredweight in October 1986. In October 1985 the M- W price stood at $11.21. Dairymen receive a two-fold benefit from the M-W price in crease, Kirkland said. The M-W price sets an higher price for Class 2 milk in November; in December dairymen will receive the higher price plus the butterfat differential for Gass 1 milk.
