Regional Milk Market Administrators
announced the following, December 2002
uniform prices: Northeast $12.24, Mideast
$11.12, Southeast $12.76, Florida $14.15,
and Western New York (a state order)
$12.01 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.)
Colder weather is prevalent across the
East. Florida had frost early in the week
and temperatures barely broke the freez
ing mark in the Middle Atlantic area.
Milk production is mostly steady in all
areas of the region. The prediction of a
late-week snow storm in the Mid-South
has bottlers clamoring for more milk and
suppliers are having difficulty finding
needed loads. One supplier noted that his
buyers, collectively, added on more than
100 loads to their normal milk orders. Not
all the “add ons” were filled in a timely
manner. Last minute calls generally went
unfilled until late in the week. The extra
milk came from intra-company ship
ments. Florida’s need for milk is closely
balanced with its own supply, but han
dlers did import a “handful” of loads this
week.

In the Northeast, Class I milk needs are
mostly steady. Parts of New York have
had heavy snow, but the impact on bot
tling and retail sales is not as evident as
some other areas that get snow less fre
quently. Surplus milk volumes are tight in
the Southeast, lighter in the Northeast.
The condensed skim market is little
changed. Demand is slow to fair and
prices are steady.
The fluid cream market is weak Prices
are lower as the CME weekly butter price
average did decline 3.0 cents last week.
Cream offerings are heavy and excess
loads continue to move to local and Mid
western churning facilities. Reports indi
cate that butter makers are pushing their
“pay multiples” lower as the cream sup
plies increase and the butter market
struggles to maintain the current price.
Cream cheese production is steady to
lighter. Producers appear to be taking
fewer spot loads unless multiples are ad
justed lower. Ice cream output is typical
tor this time of year. Some ice cream
makers are taking advantage of the rela
tively low price of fat to replenish and/or
build inventories of their best selling
flavors. Churning activity is heavy.
