Milk Prices To Reach Record Levels In November LOUISVILLE, KY Class I milk prices will be noticeably higher to dairy processors and Southeast consumers alike come November, as a result of shrinking supplies, increased demand for the product, and record-high Minnesota-Wisconsin (M-W) Series and Federal Order prices. Milk prices set two records in September, both of which will impact November Federal Order Class I milk prices. ‘The M-W Series price - the starting point from which the miminum Class I price in federal milk marketing orders are deter Prevent Nitrogen Pollution ANNAPOLIS, MD The Maryland Department of Agricul ture, the University of Maryland Cooperative Extension Service, and the Agriculture Experiment Slauon are studying the growth of cereal grains in the winter to pre vent excess nutrients from getting into groundwater supplies and eventually the Chesapeake Bay. For example, at the Wye Research and Education Center on the Eastern Shore rye has been grown during the winter in com fields to prevent nitrogen contami nation of groundwater. Rye is an excellent winter cover crop because it grows well in cool weather. “This research on planting cere al grains cover crops in the winter to prevent nutrient run off is another example of what the farm- SPECIALS!

Onego Jr., senior vice president of marketing/planning, for Dairymen, Inc., a regional milk-marketing cooperative. “The September price is a record high for the M-W Series and represents the largest month-to-month increase in the history of the M-W. Thge next highest month to-month M-W Series price increase on record was the 61 cents per hundredweight increase between July and August of this year.” Winter Cover Crops Can er is doing to protect our environ ment and restore the Chesapeake Bay,” said Maryland Secretary of Agriculture Wayne A. Cawley Jr. “I am very excited about the effectiveness of planting winter cover crops to control nutrients and prevent soil erosion,” Cawley added.

The M-W price is the average price per hundredweight that Min nesota and Winsconsin dairy pro cessing companies pay for manufacturing-grade milk con taining 3.5 percent butterfat. The M-W price has been climbing steadily ever since last March and dairy industry observers, like Onego, are projecting that it will soar even higher by year-end 1989. Likewise, the November Class I Federal Order prices, which are based upon the September M-W Series price, will increase by Indiantown Demonstration Farm in Queen Anne’s County. The focus of the day’s activities will be on what the farmer is doing for the Chesapeake Bay cleanup effort. There will be a presentation on using cover crops as a nitrogen management tool.

As a result of these factors, dairy processors will have to pay more for the raw milk they buy. Dr. Emerson Babb, an agricul tural economist with die Universi ty of Florida at Gainesville, attri butes the sharp increases in the M-W Series and Class I prices to tight milk supplies; the increased demand for milk to manufacture cheese, butter and nonfat dry milk powder, and the depleted federal government inventories of dairy commodities. ‘Tight milk supplies and the increased demand for milk for manufacturing purposes -- parti cularly in Minnesota and Wiscon sin have resulted in tremendous bidding among dairy processors for a rather limited supply of available milk,” Babb observes. “In addition, the federal govern ment’s stocks of butter, powder and cheese have become extreme ly low.

In addition to tight milk sup plies, the growing demand for raw milk, and the sharp increases in the M-W Series and Class I Feder al Order prices, several other fac tors have driven milk prices up over the past two months. They are: hot, humid weather exper ienced during the summer months which has curtailed Southeast milk production: the reopening of schools which increases the demand for milk; and the exodus of farmers from the dairy business due to the low prices they have received for their milk for several years.
