CENTRAL

Cream remains plentiful in the region. Downtime over the Labor Day weekend caused some manufacturers to offer cream volumes at lower multiples this week.
NORTHEAST
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Butter makers are taking in more cream to increase churn production. Retail butter production is increasing to prepare for the upcoming holiday demand. Cream multiples fell this week at the bottom of the range.
