(For the Northeast, Mideast, and Western New York orders, statistical un iform prices are reported.) During Febru ary, milk production in the 20 major states totaled 11.42 billion pounds, up 2.8% from February 2001. The following are the February - to - February changes for selected states: Vermont 4 .4%, New York 6 .1%, Virginia 2 .6%, Kentucky '.5%, Pennsylvania -0.5%, Texas -0.5%, and Florida -3.3%. Heavy rains fell on large areas of the Southeast and the storm is headed into New England where light snow and colder temperatures are pre dicted. The heavy rains caused wide spread flooding and damage. This led to disruptions in power and transportation in Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, and parts of nearby states. Milk production gains have been retarded in the storm-af fected areas and also in Florida where temperatures are reaching into the 90’s. Milk output in the Northeast is about steady. Milk supplies are excessive of the Class I demand and surplus volumes re main heavy. Bottled milk sales are report ed as slow in most areas of the region. Many colleges are on spring break and most states have all or a portion of their school systems on vacation. Many more will be on break next week. This slow down in school lunch needs is pushing more milk into manufacturing channels. Most cheese and butter/powder plants are operating at or near capacity. The condensed skim market is steady and prices are unchanged. Some im proved demand for wet solids from cheese makers is noted, which eases the pressure on dryers. The spot fluid cream market is showing signs of improvement, but supplies are still excessive and clearances to butter plants continue. Prices for spot cream are generally lower. Although the CME but ter price is lower, the multiples used to determine prices have occasional ly moved higher. Bottlers are pulling more cream as they pre pare for anticipated Easter/ Passover needs. Ice cream makers are stepping up production and building inventories for spring and summer needs. Cream cheese output is about sternly at moder ate levels. Chuminl activity Is lighter, but quite a few hums of excess cream continue to move to Midwestern buttir plants.
