CREAM MULTIPLES
WEST
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Cream volumes are generally tighter and demand for cream is stronger. Cream multiples moved higher for the bottom end of both ranges.
CENTRAL
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Milk components are seasonally declining, contributing to lighter cream production. Despite lighter production, cream volumes are available to meet steady demand from ice cream and butter makers.
NORTHEAST
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
The cream multiples range saw some significant increases this week. Class IV production is slowing as the summer continues. Some butter producers are selling cream to Class II and III producers while churn schedules are slower.
