Fluid Milk and Cream - Central U.S.

Released on October 09, 2025

Milk production is steady in the Central region, and contacts say output is up 
from last month. Demand for Class I milk is strong and is pulling on available 
milk volumes. Some cheesemakers in the Central region say they are providing 
spot loads of milk to Class I processors in other regions to help meet bottling 
demand. Demand for Class III is light, and contacts say trading is limited this 
week. Some cheesemakers say they are acquiring spot volumes from nearby plants 
with downtime, while others say spot activity is light as volumes are heading 
to Class I. Spot prices for Class III milk increased this week, ranging from 
flat to $3-over. Class II demand is increasing somewhat. Cream production is 
strong, and spot purchasers say volumes are plentiful. Demand for cream is 
light in the region. Some butter makers say they are exclusively using internal 
volumes for production and are not currently purchasing spot loads of 
cream.Beginning November 1, 2025, this report will be published at 2:30 PM
