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.
Regional Milk Jdarket Administrators an
nounced the following, September 2003 uniform
prices; Northeast $15.01, Mideast $13.93,
Southeast $15.65, Florida $16.99, and Western
New York (a state order) $14.50 at the base city
or county in the orders. (For the Northeast,
Mideast, and Western New York orders, statis
tical uniform prices are reported.)
Milk production is steady to slightly higher in
the Southeast, mostly steady in the Northeast.
Fluid milk supplies are not as tight as they have
been and the volumes shipped into Florida de
creased moderately. The milk that had been
earmarked for Florida then became more sur
plus milk in the shipping regions. Bottled milk
sales in all section of the region were reported as
slower this week and more surplus milk was
being sent to cheese and butter/powder plants.
In some states, union workers are striking gro
cery chain stores. This is having a negative im
pact on bottled milk and other dairy product
sales. The lost sales arc being partially offset by
improved sales at other retail outlets, but dis
ruptions in logistics are occurring. Some balanc
ing plant contacts reported more milk than they
had seen for quite some time. The extra milk
was easily handled, but volumes were up. The

Monday holiday did have some impact on milk
and cream usage.
The condensed skim market is little changed.
Demand for Class 111 is light due to price and
most sales were for Class II accounts.
The fluid cream market is dramatically
weaker this week. Traders and producers report
the cream supplies have turned from very tight
early in the month to long this week. A combi
nation of the end of the ice cream season, the
holiday week, and the yet-to-start holiday items
have pushed the market from firm to weak.
Most contacts feel that this is just a lull in the
market. Spot prices are mixed. The CME cash
butter average did increase slightly last week,
but multiples did move lower at the upper end
of the range Ice cream output is slowing sea
sonally and some plants were down for Mon
day's holiday. Cream cheese makers would like
to take advantage of all the extra cream that is
available, but many have more than enough
cream under contract to keep them full. Churn
ing activity is heavier at some plants as more
excess cream is available. Some loads are being
shipped to Upper Midwest butter makers.
