CREAM MULTIPLES
WEST
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Spot cream loads are somewhat tighter. Multiples moved higher across both ranges this week. Cream demand is steady.
CENTRAL
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Cream production is declining in the Central region and cream multiples increased across the All Classes range this week. Spot offers are limited and Class II processors are securing most spot cream on the market. Butter production is steady, though some plant managers say they are unable to find enough spot cream to maintain full production schedules.
NORTHEAST
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Contacts report that cream is not difficult to find, however, cream multiples are moving higher, supported by strong early-week requests of Class II users absorbing available cream.
