rior posts have focused on producer revenue from butterfat and milk protein as they are the two largest sources of revenue for producers. As shown in Chart I below, revenue from Other Solids is a small contributor compared to butterfat and milk protein.
Chart I – Revenue per cow for Butterfat, Milk Protein, and Other Solids
Sales of butter and cheese have been slow and as a result, butterfat and protein component prices are low. The price of Other Solids is based on the price of dry whey. Dry whey has been in strong demand and prices are positive as shown in Chart II.
