During December, milk production in
the 20 major states totaled 11.97 billion
pounds, up 1.0% from December 2000.
The following are the December-to-
December changes for selected states.
New York 9%, Vermont .3%, Pennsyl
vania .2%, Kentucky .7%, Virginia .6%,
Florida 2.4%, and Texas 4.7%. Prelimi-
nary milk production figures for the U S.
during 2001 totals 16S 39 billion pounds,
1 4% less than 2000
The base price for Class I milk for
February 2002 is $ll 95 per cwt., down
$0 01 from January Class I differentials
specific to each order are added to the
base price to determine the Class I price
The Class II skim milk price for Febru
ary is $7 69, down five cents from Janu
ary.
Milk production is inching higher in
the northern sections of the East. More
noticeable gams are reported in Florida
and other Southeastern states. Bottled
milk sales are mixed. In the Middle At
lantic and New England areas, a week
end snowstorm caused a rather
widespread area of panic buying and
bottling plants were running full out to
keep pace with demand. However, by
midweek, store shelves and the distribu
tion pipelines were full and bottling
dropped to almost nothing. One contact,
after looking at orders, wondered why
they bothered to start up on Wednesday.
In the Southeast, bottled milk sales are
fair at best. Florida’s need for milk fell as
milk output increased and handlers find
themselves in a balanced position.
Southeastern manufacturing plants are
operating on heavier schedules, but are
able to handle all the milk. Surplus milk
volumes in the Northeast are again
heavy after a light weekend.
The condensed skim market is little
changed. Demand is fair and prices
steady Offerings of wet solids are heavy
and more is ending up in dryers.
The fluid cream market remains
weak. Offerings are excessive and clear
ances to churning facilities remain
heavy. Spot sales of Class II cream are
rare occurrences. Lower multiples are
being used to offset last week’s butter
price increase. Butter makers are paying
lower multiples based on the CME
butter market a week or so in the future
Most users anticipate lower butter/cream
prices and are holding off on spot pur
chases as long as possible.
