Delivered Equivalent: Atlanta: 1.4260-1.5431 mostly 1.4473-1.4899.

The following are the July 2002 Class and component prices under the Federal Milk Order pricing sys tem: Class II $11.14 (down $0.05 from June), Class 111 $9.33 (down $0.76); and Class IV $10.45 (down $0.07). The following are product price averages used in computing Class prices: butter $1.0112, NDM $0.9033, cheese $1.1004, and dry whey $0.1545. The Class II butterfat price is $1.0999 and the Class 111/IV butterfat price is $1.0909. Cooler temperatures have re turned to much of the region, but milk output has not shown too many signs of rebounding. Milk output in New England is steady at low, sea sonal levels. Combine low milk out put with the low prices producers are receiving and contacts wonder if the number of farmers leaving the busi ness will start to increase as we move into fall. As one contact stated tongue-in-cheek, the “bigger truck” theory of doing business can last only so long. There is growing concern about what impact the supply of good quality hay in the Northeast and a poor corn crop will have on milk output during the winter. Yields on the incoming milk are low. Fluid milk supplies are reported as tight from New England to Florida. This week, Florida’s milk imports came from Pennsylvania and Michi gan. With schools starting to open in Florida and other Southern states, school lunch pipelines are beginning to be filled. This impact on Class I demand will be greater next week when more schools are on a full week schedule. In the Northeast, milk is tight and a combination of early-month sales and the need for milk in other areas is keeping surplus milk volumes quite light. Manufacturing plants are shipping milk to meet Class I needs which means less milk to process. Some operations have cut back to only a few days a week. In the Southeast, some seasonal manufacturing plants have been idled and others are just running on weekends. However, reports indicate that some Southwest milk is being shipped intra-company for process ing in the Southeast. The condensed skim market is about steady. Some price changes were noted, but most producers are holding at last month's prices and Class II formula prices are little changed. The fluid cream market is strong and supplies are tight. Some produc ers report no spot sales this week and many were barely able to meet their contract sales. In some instances, supplemental loads had to be pur chased to cover commitments. Spot prices are often higher as both the CME average and multiples in creased this week. Multiples in the low 140’s f.o.b. are more common. Ice cream production is seasonally heavy. Soft serve and frozen novelty sales have been particularly good during the recent heat wave. Cream cheese output is about steady and some suppliers have been getting more calls from buyers looking for cream. Churning activity is light and generally limited to a few Eastern operations that have contracts to fill.
