$13.27 at the base cities/counties in the or
ders. (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.
