EDITOR’S NOTE. Due to changes m milk
supply agreements, milk import/export totals
are not directly comparable to year ago figures
and to shipments prior to April 1,2003
Milk production continues to rebound, espe
cially in areas of the South. Milk imports into
Florida are reduced by 20 loads compared to
the week prior with supplies originating from
MI, TX and parts of the Northeast Class I in
terest is mixed. While sales are reportedly light
er in the South, good movement persists in the
North where bottled milk demand has not yet
Waned from August and September, when
school’s resumed session.
Fluid milk demand into manufacturing is
steady with plants operating below and at ca
pacity depending on available surplus milk vol
umes. Condensed skim interest is lighter than

the week prior, especially into Class 111 opera
tions where NDM is more price attractive.
Condensed skim prices are unchanged and
production is steady.
Fluid cream supplies are increasing seasonal
ly, especially in response to greater bottling ac
tivity in some areas. Demand for fluid cream
into ice cream operations is also beginning to
taper in areas, supporting the trend in increased
supplies. Producers suspect that the seasonal
flux in cream will be brief as production sched
ules are likely to gear up soon for holiday items
such as cream cheese, egg nog, whipped cream
and spreads. Cream prices are lower in response
to decreases in the CME AA weekly average
price. Multiples are not significantly reduced,
deterring some cream movement into butter op
erations. Churn activity remains light yet im
proved compared to the week prior.
