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.
The base price for Class I milk for June
2003 is $9.74 per cwt., up $0.03 from
May. A Class I differential specific to
each pricing point (county) is added to
the base price to determine the applicable
Class I price. The Class II skim milk
price for March is $6.62, up $O.Ol from
May.
The following are the May 2003 Class
and component prices under the Federal
Milk. Order pricing system: Class II
$10.43 (down $O.Ol from April), Class 111
$9.71 (up $0.30); and Class IV $9.74
(down $0.01). The following are the prod
uct price averages used in computing
Class prices: butter $1.0743, NDM
$0.8040, cheese $1.1394, and dry whey
$0.1450. The Class II butterfat price is
$1.1582 and the Class 111/IV butterfat
price is $1.1512.
Milk production continues to move
higher in many areas of the East. Louisi
ana output is easing lower, but continued
cool weather (particularly nighttime) in
Florida and other Southern states is help
ing keep the milk flow at current levels.
The flush may have been reached in the
Middle Atlantic and New England, but
the rainy, cool weather is helping keep
milk output steady. Some pastures are too
wet for use and fields are too wet for alfal
fa cutting/chopping. In those areas where
cows are “on grass,” milk output is still
moving slightly higher. Contacts reports
that fat and protein tests are easing lower.
This may be due to the high seasonal milk
output or changes to feeding programs.
The high costs of feed and low milk prices
have some farmers easing back on ra
tions.
Fluid milk volumes remain ample for
overall needs, but surplus volumes are not
as heavy as they have been. Bottled milk
sales are reported as flat. Schools in the
Northeast are still in session. The last of
South-Florida schools that were in session

have now closed. This did push more milk
into manufacturing channels and ship
ments out of state did increase this week.
Surplus milk diversions are steady in the
Northeast and handled without to many
difficulties.
The condensed skim market is mostly
steady, but some producers would like to
see improved demand to keep from dry
ing as much as they are. Spot prices are
unchanged.
The fluid cream market is firmer this
week. Contacts report increased inquiries
for cream. It may be a matter of many
suppliers looking to fill one order, but
producers and traders, alike, have com
mented on the tighter supply and higher
multiples. Spot prices are higher as both
the multiples and CME averages in
creased.
Ice cream production continues to lag
expectations for this time of year. The dis
mal weather up and down the East Coast
has hurt consumption of soft serve ice
cream and sales at hand-dip stores. Bot
tled cream production is improviitg as
berries come into season. Cream cheese
output is about steady, but fewer spot
loads of cream moved to this outlet this
week. Churning activity is lighter, but still
moderate on weekends.
