A slight drop in dairy production has led to varied prices for the month of February. USDA reduced production by 400 million pounds based on recent Milk Production and Cattle Inventory Reports. They showed a tighter supply of dairy heifers than expected.
World Ag Outlook Board Chair Mark Jekanowski said that the month-over-month changes on prices are notable. Jakanowski said, “In terms of product prices, kind of mixed there. So, cheese prices we raised $0.02 per pound, reflecting pretty tight inventories, but the other main products— butter, non-fat dry milk, dry whey. We lowered butter, we reduced $0.05 per pound. Non-fat dry is down $0.04 and dry whey forecast we reduced $0.03 per pound.”
