EDITOR’S NOTE: Due to changes in milk supply agreements, milk import/ export totals are not directly comparable to year ago figures and to shipment;, prior to April 1,2003. The base price for Class I milk for Sep tember 2003 is $l3 71 per cwt, up $2.74 from August. A Class 1 differential specif ic to each pricing point (county) is added to the base price to determine the applic able Class I price. The Class II skim milk price for September is $6.69, up $0.05 from August. Milk production continues to decline at varying rates throughout the region. High temperatures and humidity plague the Southeast and Middle Atlantic areas. Milk output continues to decline from Florida back through the Plains States. Florida’s need for milk continues to grow and the volumes imported are dramati cally higher than a year ago at this time. Handlers in other Southeastern states are also looking for milk and so far, they have been unsuccessful in their search for extra milk. In the Northeast, the milk flow is about steady, but plant receipts are still easing lower. The demand for Class I milk is exceptionally good. This is creating a lot of opportunities and East Fluid Milk And Cream Review Madison, Wis. August 27,2003 Report Supplied by USDA problems. Suppliers are able to easily move their milk at a premium. The com bination of the reopening of schools and the $2.74 jump in September’s Class 1 milk price is creating a sharp jump in de mand. Bottlers want to package as much milk as they can before new prices go into effect. This is typical when Class I milk prices jump, but it may also lead to a slower demand for milk the first few days of September when bottlers clear this week’s inventory. Also, reports indicate that Canada is not fully recovered from the blackout and milk buyers are looking for U.S. milk to supplement their own supplies. Contacts at manufacturing plants report that receipts are down this week. Most are either not getting the milk or selling what they have to meet Class I needs. Operating schedules are light and often just to meet contractual agreements. The condensed skim market is little changed, but lighter milk receipts at most butter/powder plants are reducing offer ings. The fluid cream market is little changed. Supplies arc very tight and de mand is good. With the big draw for Class 1 milk, regular suppliers of cream do not have any cream to offer at this time. Multiples are commonly in the 150’s f.o.b. and a few were noted above 160. Bids to buy on the Internet-based website were generally going unfilled, regardless of multiples. Buyers don’t like these high er numbers, but they do need the cream and, relatively speaking, the CME butter price is quite low. Historically, when milk and cream are as tight as they are, the butter price would be increasing, not de creasing as we have seen in the past few weeks. Ice cream production is steady to lighter. Sales of soft serve and hard ice cream are about steady, but Labor Day does mark the “end of summer” and ice cream sales tend to ease after the holiday. Churning activity is limited, but soiqe plants are back on line after being down last week for maintenance.
