Regional Milk Market Administrators announced the following, March 2002 un iform prices: Northeast $13.05, Mideast $11.93, Southeast $13.34, Florida $15.20, and Western New York (a state order) $12.52 at the base city or county in the or ders. (For the Northeast, Mideast, and Western New York orders, statistical un iform prices are reported.) Milk produc tion is generally steady from the Middle Atlantic area south. Output in the Northeast is slowly in creasing along seasonal patterns. Many contacts are commenting on the volumes of milk to be processed and few expected milk output and supply to be this heavy. A drought condition and temperatures in the nineties exists in much of the Middle Atlantic area and parts of New York. The heat is retarding the milk production gains of the past few weeks. Without sig nificant rainfall in the near future, crops as well as the milk flow may be affect- Bottled milk sales are generally termed as slow. Florida’s Class I milk need is very low as the “winter residents” have, for the most part, left the state.

Manufacturing plants are operating at or near capacity levels. In some instances, butter owder plants are clearing milk or con densed skim to other plants. The condensed skim market remains weak. With inexpensive NDM available in the marketplace, the spot demand for wet solids is almost non-existent. Quite a few loads of Eastern condensed skim are being shipped to the Midwest for process ing. Without spot sales, more local dryers have had to step up drying schedules. The fluid cream market also remains weak. Supplies are excessive and spot de mand is seldom better than slow. Prices have moved lower as both multiples and the CME average butter price have moved lower. Many loads of Eastern cream continue to move to Midwestern butter makers. Between all the milk, condensed skim and cream that is moving inter-region, trucking is becoming more of an issue, and a costly one at that. Ice cream output is starting to improve. However, spot cream purchases are slow to develop. This week’s hot weather did stimulate soft serve sales. Cream cheese production is about steady. Churning is heavy and ex cess cream supplies far exceed the re gion’s plants capacity. 30 head Lancaitcr Co 900450 lb* Black t Black White Faced idise, PA • 717442' Field Reps. :h Brown 717-44Z* i Hoover 717-354-; Wenger 7X7-85P
