Excess supplies are less notable after the holidays as milk is again diverted into bottling facilities for school sessions. Class I demand in the South is also increasing as retailers re stock shelves after a typical influx in demand following the recent winter storm. Tourist activity is increasing in Florida. As a result, milk shipments into Florida are higher and manufacturing intakes are lower. Milk silos are gener ally in balance to levels prior to the holi days, allowing manufacturers to produce more time consuming products like whole milk and high heat NDM. Condensed skim sales are increasing as plants re- establish regular operating schedules. Most movement is occurring into Class 111 facilities for the increasing interest at cheese facilities. Some re newed ice cream interest is also appear ing for Class II condensed skim, yet sales are mostly slow. Prices are lower for Class II and 111 condensed skim as Janu ary prices are realized. Cream supplies are in better balance than in prior weeks. While supplies are not tight, prices are moving higher in light of increases in the weekly CME AA butter average. Cream movement into ice cream facilities is increasing for the seasonal interest while packaged cream production is lower. Churning activity is mostly steady to higher.
