The post below covers the volume trends for seven key analytics of the dairy industry. All charts cover the last five years and are calculated as 12-month moving averages to best display trends. How is the U.S. dairy industry doing in 2025? GREAT!
This post will start with milk production (Chart I). The current volume of 18,899 million pounds per month is at record levels. (In Charts II & III, the compounding impact of higher component levels will be covered.)

Chart II covers the butterfat in milk. The chart shows a very steady increase over the last five years. Improving butterfat content is the producer’s best way of increasing revenue and everyone involved has done an amazing job. Over the span of Chart II butterfat content has increased by 9%. All producers can benefit from this.
