CREAM MULTIPLES
WEST
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Cream loads are available for spot buyers. Demand varies from lighter to steady. Cream multiples decreased this week.
CENTRAL
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Cream production is strong in the Central region. Spot cream is available, but strong demand from Class II and Class III processors is keeping inventories manageable. Butter production is strong in the region, and some plant managers say they are securing a few spot loads of cream to keep churns active.
NORTHEAST
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Spot cream volumes are heading to Class II and III manufacturers instead of the churn. Butter manufacturing is lightening but still operating seven days a week.
