Fluid Milk and Cream - Central U.S.

Released on August 28, 2025

Milk production is declining week-to-week in the Central region, but contacts 
say output remains up from this time last year. Some contacts say mild weather 
in the Midwest is contributing to an uptick in milk components. Demand for 
Class I milk continues to strengthen in the Central region. Demand is steady 
for all other Classes of milk. Spot trades of Class III milk are light as 
cheesemakers are utilizing volumes internally. Some contacts report downtime at 
nearby plants is enabling them to obtain spot Class III volumes. Cream 
production is strong in the Central region and butter makers are purchasing 
cream to keep churns active. Some butter makers say spot cream volumes are 
somewhat difficult to obtain nearby and they are paying slightly higher 
multiples for cream this week.
