CREAM MULTIPLES
WEST
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Cream availability and demand are steady. Cream multiples increased this week. Condensed milk availability and demand are steady.
CENTRAL
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Cream production is strong and Class II processors continue to pull in large volumes of cream. Demand for cream is lighter from butter makers, who note they are using volumes from within their network to keep churns active.
NORTHEAST
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Churns are operating seven days a week, but there are no reported spot purchases of cream for Class IV use in the region. Condensed skim demand is outpacing supply in the area. Prices for condensed skim are reported at $0.15 to $0.20 over Class price.
