For the most part, milk production in
the Eastern part of the country is holding
steady, although some handlers are re
porting slight increases in receipts at the
plant. In the Mid-Atlantic and New Eng
land areas, adverse weather conditions
continue to impact milk logistics. Al
though snow has fallen during the past
week, conditions were no where close to
conditions of a few weeks ago. Bottlers in
dicated that typical runs on milk, due to
poor weather predictions, at the retail
store did clear heavy volumes of milk
which caused some bottling operations to
realign bottling schedules. With the in
creased demand for Class I milk, in in
stances, milk was not as available as some
users required, thus they were out looking
for additional milk to maintain their pro
duction schedules.
In the Southeast, especially Florida and
Gulf Coastal states, milk production is re
ported to be showing signs of seasonal in
creases. Bottling plants in Florida were
full to the point that 52 loads of milk did
move out of state into manufacturing
plants within the Southeast. Not only in
the Southeast, but throughout the Eastern
part of the country, bottlers will be align
ing schedules during the next 4 - 8 weeks
to accommodate spring breaks for
schools. Bottlers anticipate that condi
tions might not be as hectic in the North
east as in past years due to many schools
