Butter - East U.S.

Released on June 03, 2026

Butter churns continue operating seven days a week, as cream supplies support 
active, but managed, production schedules. Cream is readily available in the 
region, but some butter manufacturers are selling cream to other Classes for 
higher premiums. The cooler weather is extending the spring flush in the 
Eastern region, and the East Coast is diverting cream for seasonal ice cream 
production. Following a decline in consumer demand, contacts report retail 
butter softened sharply in April, but appears to be regaining footing. 
Inventories and the market tone remain steady.
