SOUTHEAST STATES: This week - In 0, Out 0; last week - In 0, Out 0; last year - In 0, Out 0. The base price for Class I milk for March 2002 is $11.62 per cwt., down $0.33 from February. A Class I differen tial specific to each pricing point (county) is added to the base price to determine the applicable Class I price. The Class II skim milk price for March is $7.66, down three cents from February. Milk production is increasing in most of the region, but most noticeably in the Southeast. At midweek, a cold front push ed through the Midwest and Southeast and contacts feel that the sharply colder temperatures will retard the current gains in milk production. In the Northeast, it is still relatively mild and the milk flow con tinues to show slight gains. Fluid milk supplies are excessive of the slow Class I demand and diversion to manufacturing plants remain heavy. Contacts are sur prised by the generally lackluster bottled milk demand throughout the region. Most feel that the recent cold and snowy weather system did not cause very much panic buying and “first of the month” sales appear to be having little impact on bottled milk orders. Manufacturing plant contacts report continued heavy receipts and their plants are nearly full. Some schools have been or are on vacation and this is also disrupting Class I milk orders. Class II condensed skim sales and prices are mostly steady. However, prices from Class 111 wet solids is lower. Spot demand is fair, but contract shipments arc clearing normal volumes. The fluid cream market is little changed from past weeks, but a few con tacts report that the glut of cream isn’t quite as heavy as it has been. However, supplies are still excessive and sales to WATERLESS TOILETS butter plants continue at relatively low prices. Spot prices are mixed. Last week’s CME average butter prices did move about one cent lower, but in a few in stances, multiples moved a little higher. Cream cheese producers are reportedly taking a few extra spot loads this week. Cream cheese orders for Easter are being filled and shipped. Ice cream output is steady to slightly heavier. Bottled cream production is increasing slightly as Easter needs are being filled. Churning activity remains heavy. Indiana Livestock Homer City, Pa.
