Weekly Animal Feed, Central U.S.: July 07, 2022
Dry whey prices continued to slip lower on the bottom of the mostly and top of the range this week. Market tones have lost some traction in recent weeks. End users say they are content with current stores and waiting out potentially further price drops before returning to the fray. Producers suggest similar notes. They say offers, even in the low $.50s, are less attractive to buyers than they were just two weeks ago. Production is somewhat busy and spot milk prices as low as $6 under Class in the upper Midwest are not expected to deter that in the near term. Animal feed trading was moderately active again this week, as prices slipped.

Class III Milk Futures
Dairy Market Review: July 08, 2022
BUTTER: Grade AA closed at $2.9700. The weekly average for Grade AA is $2.9475 (-0.00280).
CHEESE: Barrels closed at $2.1825 and 40# blocks at $2.1100. The weekly average for barrels is $2.1756 (-0.0039) and blocks, $2.0913 (-0.0677).
CHEESE HIGHLIGHTS: In the Northeast and West milk is available for processing, but some cheesemakers say holiday down time, labor shortages, and supply chain issues are having a negative impact on production. Meanwhile in the Midwest, cheese makers are concerned with some farmers downsizing and milk haulers leaving the business. Spot loads of milk continue to trade as low as $6 under Class in the Midwest. According to producers in the Midwest, spot inventories of cheese are in balance with demand.
BUTTER HIGHLIGHTS: Across the country cream is available, though Central contacts report seasonally declining butterfat components. Butter makers are running busy schedules in the Central and West regions, though Northeast butter production is steady to lower. Demand for butter is declining from both food service and retail markets in the Northeast and West. Some Central region contacts are growing increasingly concerned that high gas and grocery prices will cause customers to reduce their butter purchasing or switch to lower priced alternatives.
FLUID MILK HIGHLIGHTS: Milk production continues to slow in the East and Midwest regions of the country. The mixture of hot and humid conditions encourages seasonal drops in output that decrease the level of processors' milk supplies. In the West, cooler conditions are keeping milk production closer to steady in the California and the mountainous states of Utah, Idaho, and Colorado. New Mexico milk production is declining, while improved conditions in the Pacific Northwest contribute to an increase in farm-level output. Milk spot loads were available post-holiday, with healthy buyer discounts reported in the Midwest. Class I demand is mostly steady across the country.
