Summer heat is beginning to take its toll on milk output in the Southern region while areas in the North continue to re port heavy milk volumes. Milk shipments out of Florida decreased considerably for the week at 81 compared to 231 the week prior. Shipments out were expected high er until lower milk volumes from the in creased temperature were realized. This is decreasing milk intakes into Northern M Sin Mav v 1 i R/SSLER-* > S> -i -i THAK-HOE'-i -i -i manufacturing plants and encouraging some balancing plant closures. Some han dlers suspect that volumes may rebound slightly next week. However, volumes ap pear to have peaked and any excess milk produced will be readily managed. Heavy rain in parts of the North may hamper crop production schedules. Some renewed retail interest is being reported for Class I milk improving Class I sales to no better than fair. Schools con tinue to dismiss classes for summer recess, decreasing Class I interest. Demand for fluid milk into Class II facilities is in creasing. However, fluid milk movement into Class 111 plants is light as mozzarella cheese demand is slow. Some Northern handlers are diverting milk away from cheese facilities and into the Midwest re gion. Sales of condensed skim into Class 111 facilities are nominal while interest for Class II skim is generally good. Into some facilities, condensed skim remains more attractively priced compared to NDM. Some locations are cutting back on their production of NDM to clear more sup plies in the condensed form. Cream supplies are tightening as ice cream interest increases in the warmer temperatures. While ice cream intakes of cream remain below seasonally expected levels, multiples are generally higher. Coupled with a higher weekly average AA CME butter price, cream prices are trending higher. Lower butter prices re ported for the current week may encour age multiples to trend higher in the next week. Churning activity remains general ly steady to somewhat reduced as cream is diverted into ice cream and cream cheese facilities. Livestock Cooperative Auction Market Of North Jersey Hackettstown, NJ.
