Fluid Milk and Cream - Central U.S.

Released on September 25, 2025

In the Central region, cooler temperatures are contributing to an uptick in 
milk output. Contacts report strong demand for Class I milk and some spot 
volume is being routed towards bottling plants to meet this demand. Class II 
and Class III demands are unchanged, while Class IV demand continues to 
decline. Cheesemakers say spot availability for Class III milk remains light, 
but some note increased availability this week compared to last. Spot prices 
for Class III milk decreased this week and range from $1-under to $1-over 
Class. Cream production continues to increase in the Central region. Butter 
makers say cream is plentiful and demand is declining as processors are 
utilizing internal volumes rather than purchasing loads from the spot market. 
All Class cream multiples were unchanged at the bottom of the range, but the 
top of the range and both ends of the Class II multiple range decreased this 
week.
