The prior three posts covered the trends in milk pricing in 2025. This post will use that data to estimate where producer milk prices may be going in 2026.
BUTTER
Butter demand grew rapidly in 2023 and has put pressure on inventories. Chart I below traces the domestic disappearance from inventories. The growth rate peaked at 10.9% annually in the beginning of 2024 and has slowed to 3.5% at the end of 2025. While the growth rate has slowed it is still at a robust annual increase in domestic disappearance.
