Weather continues to play a major role
in milk output in the East Continued
rains in the far north are making first cut
ting alfalfa difficult to harvest and some
fields have been left fallow because they
are too wet to plant. Much of the region
from the Northeast to Florida is experi
encing very hot weather and the milk
flow is being adversely affected. However,
Florida’s milk output is reported to have
rebounded as the state is getting some
much needed rain and the evenings are
not as hot as they have been. This, along
with much slower Class I demand, has
forced nearly 100 loads of milk out of
state for processing. This is a significantly
higher number than a week ago and sur
prised many contacts.
As is normal, the effects of the hot
weather are seen in lower fat and protein
levels. Class I sales are steady at slow lev
els in nearly all areas of the East. Surplus
milk supplies are heavier in the South
east; steady to slightly lower in the more
northern areas. Contacts are making ar-

rangements for next week when some
manufacturing plants will be down for
various periods of time.
The condensed skim market is basically
steady. Some prices for July Class 111
sales are expected to be up slightly based
on estimates of the July Class 111 skim
milk price.
The fluid cream market started the
week on the weak side, but firmed up by
midweek. Supplies were long, but did
tighten significantly as users try to step
up output before they shut down during
the holiday weekend. Reports indicate
that several cream cheese operations will
not take cream most of next week which
will impact availability. Also, several ice
cream plants have notified supplies that
they will be down from the fourth to the
seventh. This week, spot prices are virtu
ally unchanged from last week. Multiples
were occasionally lower, but mostly in the
mid to upper 130’s. Demand is reported
as mixed. Ice cream output is at normal
summer levels and the hot weather is
helping consumption of soft serve and
frozen novelties. Bottled cream sale are
starting to slow as most of the strawberry
season is past. Cream cheese output is
moderate to heavy this week. Churning
activity is lighter.
