Milk production is abundant on U.S. farms and evidenced in the Agriculture Department’s latest data. November output hit 18.79 billion pounds, up 4.5% from November 2024 which admittedly was impacted by avian influenza, particularly in the nation’s No. 1 milk producer, California, which was down 7.9% from 2023. November output in the top 24 states totaled 18.1 billion pounds, up 4.7%. StoneX adds that fat and protein pooled in market orders were also up and puts component adjusted production at plus 6%.
October production was revised down 15 million pounds resulting in a 3.6% increase from a year ago, instead of the 3.7% originally reported. The 24-state total was revised down 11 million pounds, up 3.8%, instead of the 3.9% reported.
