Milk production trends in the Eastern
part of the countrv are reported to have
basically plateaued this week Reports ol
production increases were not as preva
lent during the week, with some handlers
even indicating slight decreases in rc
ceipts Weather patterns in the Northeast
were typical for this tune ot the year ver
sus the adverse conditions of past weeks
impacting everything from farm pickups,
manufacturing schedules, and distribu
tion logistics Milk output in Florida and
other Gulf Coastal states is seasonally
strong, although holding basically steady
Florida's production was in check with
demand, thus no milk was reported leav
ing or entering the state. Class I sales and
demand are quite strong in Florida as the
spring break tourist season begins. With
the Easter holiday late in April this year,
Florida bottlers anticipate that the spring
break period will be stretching out over
the next 4-6 weeks Many bottlers arc
welcoming tins longer, more manageable
period, versus the tighter period of past
years Condensed skim markets are hold
ing basically steady price wise with de
mand not overly aggressive. Cream mar
kets arc firm with prices and pricing
differentials increasing Many buyers that
were accustomed to lower prices for read
ily available volumes of cream in recent
weeks arc finding that these offerings arc
no longer available Cream supplies have
tightened and prices are higher Demand
for cream from Class 11 buyers is sharply
higher as they prepare tor the upcoming
Easter/Passovcr holiday. Cream cheese
production is increasing seasonally Ice
cream production is also heavier, building
stocks for future needs. Churning sched
ules remains seasonally active, although
surplus cream offerings to local and out of
area butter operations have tightened.
