CREAM MULTIPLES
WEST
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Cream is widely available for most of the region. Cream multiples moved higher for both ranges. Demand is stronger.
CENTRAL
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Milk components are up from a year ago and contacts say cream production remains strong. Demand for cream from Class II processors is picking up, but interest from butter makers remains steady. Butter makers are running full production schedules to keep pace with strengthening domestic demand.
NORTHEAST
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Butter churns are operating near full capacity, and some facilities are buying spot loads of cream to increase production. Milk components remain strong, providing ample amounts of cream for the market.
