Fluid Milk and Cream - Central U.S.

Released on August 21, 2025

Summer temperatures are beginning to level out in the upper Midwest, 
contributing to a more balanced milk supply. Some contacts are very optimistic 
about grain supplies in the area because of the large amounts of rain this past 
week. Southern states are still seeing hotter temperatures, keeping milk 
volumes seasonally low. Milk components throughout the entire central region 
are higher than anticipated. Bottling manufacturers are increasing production 
to prepare for the start of the fall semester at many educational institutions. 
Ice cream manufactures began decreasing production runs as the summer ends. 
Class III production remains steady to strong. Production remained steady, 
leading to less spot milk available for Class III. Class III milk traded from 
flat to $2.75 over this week. Class IV production is increasing. Cream is 
widely available in the region. Butter makers are purchasing excess cream for 
churns at lower multiples. Cream multiples dropped slightly at the bottom of 
the range this week.
