demand conditions in the New
York-New Jersey milk market are
expected to be tight throughout
1987, which “will keep the effective
prices payable to producers higher
than in 1988,” dairy economist
Joseph C. 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

farm location, the economist
noted. “That price,” he said, “is 33
cents higher than the previous
February after accounting for the
25-cent assessment to partially
fund the Dairy Termination
Program.”
New York-New Jersey milk
market supplies for February
were nearly 6 percent below the
previous year, Mathis said,
“reflecting a loss of some 1,300
farms due to the buyout and
sellouts.” Meanwhile, he added,
the remaining farms increased
their output by nearly 3 percent.
He also reported that “milk used
for battling purposes dropped by
an unexpected 1.3 percent from
last year, and the amount of milk
available for manufactured dairy
products fell 8.4 percent below a
year ago.”
