Mathis reports. Mathis, manager of economics and government relations for Eastern Milk Producers Cooperative, said milk production continues to fall below last year’s levels due to the loss of dairy farms and the increase in commercial demand resulting from improved conditions in the general economy. As a result, he said, dairy farm ers “likely well average about 30 cents higher for the year as a whole,” with the largest gains in the first half of the year. Dairy farmers will receive about $12.42 a hundredweight for milk shipped in February, before ad Pressure-Treated Lumber Woimanized pressure-treated wood and Outdoor wood have built-in chemical protection that provides resistance to decay and termites.
