Milk production is steady to slightly
heavier in most sections of the region.
Florida’s need for milk ranges from level
to slightly slower and in-state handlers
moved increased volumes of milk out of
state for manufacturing. Farther north,
the almost weekly storms are helping
milk sales, but these, too, have some
limits. A storm hit much of the Middle
Atlantic seaboard and New England last
Friday (2/7) and another one hit those
same areas on Monday (2/10) and another
one at midweek hit New England. Re
ports indicate that the first storm did
boost milk sales, but the second and third
storms had a lesser impact on retail sales.
The closing of schools in the storm areas
did offset the jump in retail demand.
Milk output in the Northeast is mostly
steady. Fluid milk supplies are little
changed from last week. Bottled milk
sales are termed by many as flat, but
many schools will be closed for Presi
dents’ Day (2/17) and this may increase
surplus milk volumes late this week.
Manufacturing plant contacts report that
milk receipts are steady and plant sched
ules are moderate to occasionally heavy.
A cheese plant that had been down for
renovations last week is back on line this
week.
The condensed skim market is steady
to weaker. Offerings are increasing and
prices are unchanged to lower.
The fluid cream market continues to be
weak. Demand from Class II users is slow
despite lower prices. Most suppliers re
port an abundant cream supply with con
tinued heavy shipments of excess to local
and Midwestern butter makers. Ice cream
and cream cheese producers are occasion

ally taking extra or spot loads, but their
contracts are normally sufficient to meet
their production needs. However, the rela
tively low price of cream is attractive to
some users who can take advantage of the
current low multiples being offered by
some producers. Some contacts were
pleased to report that bottled cream pro
duction is occasionally improved this
week. This meant that they had less or no
cream to clear on the spot market. Churn
ing activity remains heavy.
