monthly formula prices: .9500-1.000;

The base price for Class I milk for Feb
ruary 2003 is $10.23 per cwt., down $0.33
from January. A Class I differential spe
cific to each pricing point (county) is
added to the base price to determine the
applicable Class I price. The Class II
skim milk price for January is $6.90,
down $0.47 from January.
During December, milk production in
the 20 major states totaled 12.22 billion
pounds, up 1.8% from December 2001.
The following are the December-to-De
ccmber changes for selected states: Texas
* .3%, New York 1 3%, Vermont -1.7%,
Virginia -1.9%, Pennsylvania -2.0%, Flor
ida -4.0%, and Kentucky -64%. For the
above-mentioned states, the combined
milk cow numbers are down 1,200 head
from last December. Milk cows in the
twenty major states total 7,750,000 head,
up 47,000 from a year earlier
Milk production ranges from steady to
slightly higher m most of the region.
Some heavy snow falls in the Northeast,
particularly lake effect snow in New
York, are causing scattered farm pick-up
delays Cold weather in the Southeast is
having an impact on the milk flow in
much of the area. Freezing temperatures
in Florida and other Gulf Coast states are
slowing the milk flow. Florida's need for
milk eased this week and handlers actual
ly shipped a few loads out of state for pro
cessing. Slightly higher milk production
and flat demand caused handlers to carry
more milk into this week. Farther north,
another snow storm and cold tempera
tures are expected in the Mid-South and
bottled milk sales are good Some South
eastern handlers are pulling intra-compa
ny milk greater distances to meet this
good demand
Class 1 milk needs are also good in the
Northeast, which is surprising to some
contacts. However, the good Class I milk
demand results m more standardization
and, therefore, more cream to be cleared.
Surplus milk volumes range from light to
heavy.
The condensed skim is weak and re
ports of some distressed loads clearing the
region were noted. Demand is slow and
prices are unchanged on Class 11, lower
for Class 111.
The fluid cream market is weak. Offer
ings are more than ample for the slow de
mand. Class II spot prices are
