The following are the June 2002 Class and component prices under the Federal Milk Order pricing system: Class II $11.19 (down $O.lO from May), Class 111 $10.09 (down $0.73); and Class IV $10.52 (down $0.05). The following are product price averages used,ih computing Class prices; butter $1.0343, NDM $0.9005, cheese $1.1708, and dry whey $0.1639. The Class II butterfat price is $1.1281 and the Class 111/IV butterfat price is $1.1211. Milk production is generally trending lower in response to the recent heat wave. The most notable declines are seen in Louisiana and Mississippi. However, some areas of the North and especially farms in Florida are experiencing a de layed response to the weather with milk output generally unchanged from the week prior. Cool rains are creating more suitable weather for milk output yet un desirable conditions for cutting hay. Ship ments out of Florida were not expected for the current week. However, 45 loads are reportedly shipped out for the current week. This is 19 loads less than last week. Lackluster Class I sales are encourag ing milk movement into manufacturing. Milk is being diverted away from NDM facilities and into cheese plants and some evaporated facilities, allowing processing time for high heat NDM. Some coops are buying extra loads of milk to satisfy Class 111 interest. Condensed skim supplies are reduced in response to lower milk volume avail ability in some areas. Condensed skim prices are steady to higher. Condensed skim movement is good into yogurt, ice cream and cheese facilities. Fluid cream supplies are tighter than the week prior, encouraging multiples to trade higher. Ice cream and cream cheese facilities that were closed during the holi day weekend are now resuming normal production schedules and cream supply intakes, decreasing cream supply avail ability. However, ice cream production re mains below seasonally anticipated levels. Churning activity is steady to slightly lower as less cream is diverted into butter production.
