EDITOR’S NOTE: Due to changes in
milk supply agreements, milk import/
export totals are not directly comparable
to year ago figures and to shipments prior
to April 1,2003.
The base price for Class I milk for July
2003 is $9.77 per cwt, up $0.03 from
June. 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 July is $6.62, unchanged from
June.
After a spring of cool wet weather,
most of the East started the week with
temperatures in the nineties and humidity
to match. It has been hot in most of the
Southeast for a week or two. Both of these
areas are seeing milk production fall at a
more rapid pace. Contacts comment on
the declining weights on off-farm trucks
coming into plants. Fat and protein tests
are also relatively low. Bottled milk sales
are now at summer levels as schools are
closed. Demand for Class I milk is hold
ing up quite well in the Southeast, but
lackluster in much of the Northeast. Sur
plus milk volumes are lighter and some
plants have adjusted operating schedules
accordingly. The condensed skim market
is firming slightly, but prices are un
changed. Supplies are easing and demand
is holding about steady, which is easing
the need for drying.
The fluid cream market is very firm.
All contacts comment on how tight sup
plies are and how high multiples have
gotten in the past two weeks.
Somewhat surprising to some contacts
is the fact that the butter price has held
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 28, 2003-A7
relatively steady, but the more than ample
supply of bulk butter may be tempering
any price increase at the CME cash butter
market. Local cream supplies are short of
needs and loads from California and
other Western states are being purchased
to supplement local supplies. Spot prices
are higher as both multiples and the CME
butter average increased last week.
Multiples in the 140’s are more com
mon and there have been reports of the
Internet-based marketing system with
sellers asking multiples of 160.
(There were no reported sales at that
level.) Ice cream demand has improved,
particularly for soft serve, which typically
reacts quickly to weather stimuli. Most ice
cream producers are operating on normal
summer schedules. Bottled cream de
mand is improving and producers are
looking for additional loads to process.
Churning activity is lighter as many
producers are selling their cream.
