Fluid Milk And Cream - East U.S.

Released on June 04, 2026

Milk volumes in the East remain strong this week. New England states are still 
in the spring flush, while Mid-Atlantic and Southern states are past peak 
levels. Class I production is lighter this week, particularly in the Southern 
states, where educational institutions have started the summer break. 
Unexpected downtime at a bottling plant caused milk diversions late last week. 
Class II production remains strong, particularly with strong retail demand for 
ice cream and cottage. Spot purchases of cream for Class II use rose this week. 
Class III demand is steady in the region. Contracted volumes of milk are being 
used to meet cheese production demand, although many facilities are looking for 
condensed skim with limited success. Class IV production is steady this week. 
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.
