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
Milk production ranges from steady to slight
ly heavier Most of the gains in the milk flow
have been reported in the Southeast with most
states showing slight increases. In the Middle
Atlantic and Northeast, milk output is about
steady and typical for November. Fluid milk
supplies are tight, occasionally short of needs
Bottlers that were affected by the recent strike
are getting back to more normal operations, but
most of the stores that were affected in the East
are reportedly back to work. Florida’s need for
milk did increase this week as their local milk
production did dip over the weekend and de
mand increased. Contacts report that milk buy
ers are looking ahead and placing orders for
Thanksgiving needs. Bottlers in all sections of
the East expect improved demand next week
This would be typical for this time of year Con
tacts also report a very tight supply situation for
surplus milk. Demand is good and premiums
are being paid for any spot loads that are avail
able. Manufacturers are reducing plant sched
ules as milk supplies dwindle. Some cheese
makers who typically have regional and nation
al promotions to supply are aggressively looking
for more milk.
The condensed skim market is little changed.
Supplies remain tight. Contracts are clearing
most of the available supply.
Hie fluid cream market is very firm Offer
ings are tight at all levels of the market. It
seems that “everyone’’ wants more cream. Some
suppliers do not have enough milk coming into
their plants to All their cream needs. They are
finding it more difficult and expensive to buy
supplemental loads to meet all their needs. In
instances, customers have been shorted a load
or two and they then have to go out
