Regional Milk Market Administrators
announced the following, June 2002 un
iform prices: Northeast $12.38, Mideast
$11.24, Southeast $12.69, Florida $14.44,
and Western New York (a state order)
$11.82 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 supplies have tightened in most
areas of the East. Declines in milk output
were significant early in July, but seem to
be level now that temperatures have mod
erated slightly. Plant contacts report
fewer incoming loads now that haulers
have consolidated their routes. This is
typical for this time of year. Also, fat and
protein test have fallen to summer-time
levels.
Florida handlers report being nicely
balanced this week and expect to start im
porting milk in the next week or two. A
slow Class I milk demand in Florida is
keeping the need for milk lower than ex
pected. Class I milk sales are report
ed as slow throughout the region.
Bottlers have been “filling in” oper
ating schedules with fruit drinks
and water, which are good sellers
during hot weather.

Surplus milk volumes are tighter and
manufacturing schedules have been re
duced accordingly. Most Eastern cheese
and butter
owder plants have cut back operations
by at least one day a week. The con
densed skim market seems firmer and
prices are steady to lower on Class 111
spot sales; steady on Class 11. Demand for
wet solids is steady to slightly improved.
The fluid cream market is firm. Sup
plies are tighter and many producers have
had to purchase supplemental loads to
meet their commitments. Demand is good
and improving. Spot prices are lower, but
multiples have increased noticeably from
late-June levels. The CME average butter
price was off five cents from the previous
week. Most Eastern butter makers are
selling cream into Class II channels and
doing very little or no churning.
Ice cream consumption is seasonally
high, particularly soft serve. The hot
weather has greatly affected frozen dairy
product sales and producers are running
at or near capacity levels to keep pace.
Cream cheese production is about steady.
