The ef fects of last week’s big snow storm are still being felt in North Carolina where more than 500,000 customers were still without electricity a week after the storm. This did impact milk sales and deliveries into those areas. This week, an ice storm moved through the Middle Atlantic area, which caused widespread traffic prob lems. Heavy rains in Florida are taking s s $145 Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 14, 2002-A7 their toll on the milk flow. The recent gains in Florida's milk output were slow ed by all the rain they have had. Milk needs in Florida are about steady and suppliers did have to import some milk to supplement local supplies. The milk flow in the rest of the Southeast is still increas ing, but at a slower pace than it has been. Milk production in the Northeast and Middle Atlantic areas is about steady. Fluid milk supplies are light in most sec tions of the East. This week’s ice storm forecasts triggered another round of retail panic buying. This left some bottlers struggling to meet all the “add ons” and a few plants ran out of milk for the second week in a row. Outside of the storm area, bottled milk sales are reported as fair to good. Surplus milk volumes are holding at tight levels. Manufacturing plant in takes are light, but most contacts feel that milk receipts will be increasing about this time next week. Some cheese operations are still taking normal volumes while oth ers are trying to ease back on production. The condensed skim market is mostly steady with prices unchanged on Class II; lower on Class 111. Some operations con tinue to clear all their solids as condensed rather than operate their dryers. The fluid cream market is not as firm as it has been. Offerings are heavier and more excess cream is looking for a home. Spot prices are steady to slightly higher as multiples are steady but the CME butter price did increase fractionally. Demand from ice cream producers is fairly good as many try to step up output to make up for their anticipated down time during the holi days. Bottled cream producers are run ning full out and extra loads were needs to fill demand Eggnog production is in full swing. Cream cheese output is about steady. Churning is also steady to heavier, but some producers are limiting cream in takes and/or paying quite low multiples. More excess cream is moving to Midwest ern butter makers.
