The base price for Class I milk for Sep
tember 2002 is $10.46 per cwt., down
$0.02 from August. A Class 1 differential
specific to each pricing point (countv) is
added to the base price to determine the
applicable Class I price. The Class II
skim milk price for September is $7.62,
up six cents from August.
Milk production levels range from
steady to lower throughout the region
Hot weather was prevalent in the South
east over the weekend, but milder temper
atures are being reported in the North
east. Also, some much needed ram is
falling on parts of the Middle Atlantic
and Southeast this week. It is hoped that
this relief from the hot, dry weather will
allow milk output to rebound in the com
ing weeks. Fluid milk supp les are tighter
in all areas of the region now that bottlers
are filling the school lunch pipelines. Most
schools will be back in session next week
and bottlers' orders for milk are heavy
Along with the schools starting, bottlers
are running heavy over the weekend be
cause most will be down on Monday,
1 abor Day Florida's milk needs have in-
creased and imports are increasing Ship-
ments this week came from Pennsylvania
and Michigan For the other Southeast
states, milk was pulled in via intra-com-
pain ehannels and no outside, spot loads
were purchased However, contacts arc
commenting on the tightness of milk in
the region. Manufacturing plants are
nearly idle in the Southeast and operating
on reduced schedules in the Northeast.
Condensed skim sales are reported as
fair to good and some suppliers are selling
nearly all their skim as fluid or con
densed. Prices are steady, but suppliers
are trying to push prices, particularly
Class 111, higher for September ship
ments.
The fluid cream market is firm. Prices
are little changed as the CME weekly a\-
erage butter price fell less than one-tenth
of-one-cent last week. Spot demand is
holding up quite well, but some ice cream
makers, as well as other cream users, ex
pect to be down on Labor Day. Suppliers
report tight supplies, but volumes seem to
be in better balance than last week.
Churning is light and often limited to
only a couple plants in the region.
