EDITOR’S NOTE: Due to recent changes in milk supply agreements, milk import/export totals are not directly com parable to year ago figures and to ship ments prior to April 1,2003. Milk production ranges from slightly lower in the Deep South to slightly higher in the Far North. Florida and other Gulf Coast States are seeing milk output drop slowly from the peak. The milk flow con tinues to increase in the Middle Atlantic area and the Northeast. Shipments out of Florida are lighter this week as their milk output is easing and Class I milk demand is steady. Fluid milk supplies remain bur densome throughout the region, but man ufacturing capacity is available. However, reports indicate that a portion of a large manufacturing plant was down for sever al days last week and milk was still being diverted to other plants early this week. Reportedly, they are now caught up and “things” are back to normal. Bottled milk sales ranged from un- ______ changed to improved in ■■■■■■■■■ areas where schools are back in session and first-of-the- month orders are being filled. The condensed skim mar ket is weak and prices are mostly steady. Offerings are more than current demand can clear, which is forcing more skim through dryers. Occasional, unconfirmed re ports indicate that some dis- tressed loads did move at prices below the market. The fluid cream market remains weak.
