'Read all the labels and instructions before operating Maintain the machine according to instructions and keep all labels m their place clean and legi
ble for all users to read 1 H Rissler Mixer Boxes must be used and operated in accordance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer
ness. According to some contacts and
their “way of thinking,” a few of the de
tails of the settlement appear confusing
or puzzling.
This week, hot weather continues to
cover most of the region. The high tem
peratures and humidity are taking more
of a toll on cows. Milk output is falling
from the Northern areas to Florida. The
rates of decline vary. Fat and protein
tests on the incoming milk are dropping
along seasonal patterns. Florida’s output
continues to drop, but milk volumes are
still excessive of Class I needs and ship
ments out of state continue.
Bottled milk sales are seldom better
than fair and reported as “down right
poor” in some parts of the region. Manu
facturing plants are operating on re
duced schedules. The most noteable
drops in scheduling seem to be in the
Southeast where most plants that are
running are doing so only 3-4 days a
week. Some handlers are preparing to
take in “outside milk” starting next
week. They may not need it right now,
but most contracts of this nature start
July 1.
The condensed skim market is a little
firmer, but prices are unchanged. Offer-

far Mixer Bax
ings are not as difficult to clear as they
were a few weeks ago. Spot demand is
still light as most deliveries are to meet
contracts. Drying schedules are gener
ally lighter due to the better demand and
lighter volumes of surplus milk coming
into butter/powder plants.
The fluid cream market is firm.
Demand is good, best early in the week.
Spot prices are higher as both the weekly
CMG butter average and multiples
moved higher. Most suppliers report an
improved demand, but a few did have
loads to clear late in the week. Other,
however, were looking for additional
loads for Thursday delivery. Some non-
Grade A cream was moving to Midwest
ern churning facilities. Cream cheese
output is improving and a few extra or
spot loads of cream were purchased. Ice
cream production is seasonally heavy.
The hot weather is giving consumption a
boost, particularly soft serve. Sales of
frozen novelties are also very good.
Churning activity is slower as some
butter makers are selling their cream.
