Fluid Milk and Cream - Central U.S.

Released on September 04, 2025

Milk production varies throughout the Central region. In the upper Midwest, 
contacts report cooler temperatures are contributing to increased cow comfort 
and higher milk output. Meanwhile, in the southern portion of the region, milk 
output is declining, though contacts say production remains up from this time 
last year. Demand for Class I milk is strengthening. Some contacts in the 
Midwest say they are moving volumes of Class I milk south, where inventories 
are tighter. Demand for Class II and III milk is steady, but contacts report 
Class IV demand is declining. Some cheese plants in the region had scheduled 
downtime over the holiday weekend, which contributed to increased Class III 
spot availability. Report prices for Class III milk range from $2.5-under to 
$2.00-over this week. Cream remains plentiful in the region. Downtime over the 
Labor Day weekend caused some manufacturers to offer cream volumes at lower 
multiples this week.
