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 is about steady in most of
the East. Colder weather in the Southeast early
this week is helping milk output increase along
seasonal patterns. The milk flow in the North
east is mostly steady to lighter. Compared to
most years, milk volumes are very tight in the
Northeast Some of the tighter milk supply can
be attributed to the fact that there are fewer
milk producers than a year ago and that No
vember is traditionally the low month for milk
production per cow. The continued good de
mand for Class I milk diould come to a halt at
midweek when school lunch programs stop and
retail needs are filled. Contacts already report
slower milk orders after Tuesday. Florida’s
need for outside milk dropped significantly, but
handlers expect in-state milk production and
the slower Class I needs to carry them through
the holiday weekend. Manufacturing plant con
tacts see little or no extra milk showing up at
( r .Lancaster, Farming, Saturday, Novembers, 2003-A7
their plants this weekend. Some report that they
have never seen milk this tight during a
Thanksgiving week. Those plants that have
been supplying Florida’s need may have extra
milk to process, but it will be welcomed.
The condensed skim market is generally
steady. Supplies are tight and few spot sales are
being reported. In some instances, producers
are having difficulty filling contracts because of
the tight supply of surplus milk.
The fluid cream market remains strong. Of
ferings are tight and demand remains good. Or
ders for holiday items like egg nog, bottled
cream, etc. are down this week. However, with
cream supplies as tight as they have been, some
producers of these products continue to make
as much as they can. Cream buyers/users are
not finding the volumes they desire. Suppliers/

producers ate not always able to fill all demand
for cream and some demand is going unfilled.
Spot prices an often lower as last week’s CME
butter average did drop 1.34 cents from the pre
vious week. Multiples range from mostly un
changed to higher. Cream cheese output re
mains fairly brisk as orders are good through
the year end holidays. Ice cream production is
holding up better than expected. Many ice
cream producers are down for a long weekend
this week, but expect to be back on line next
week. Some ice cream producers are building
inventories ahead of their traditional down time
during the year end holiday period. Churning
activity remains light. Outside of contracts,
there is little cream being offered to butter mak
ers.
