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. Contacts re-

port that demand is not improving as an
ticipated for spring and increasing vol
umes of excess cream are clearing to
butter producers. Spot demand for Class
II cream is steady to slower. Multiples did
drop this week as suppliers try to stimu
late some interest. Also, the CME weekly
average butter price did decline fraction
ally last week. According to cream pro
ducers and suppliers, ice cream output is
not overly active for this late in April. Im
proving weather conditions in the East is
helping soft serve mix sales. Cream cheese
production is about steady. Bottled cream
production is starting to see improvement
as the strawberry season starts.
