Released on September 24, 2025

Milk supplies in the area are rising seasonally, providing more cream for the 
market. Consumer size butter production in the Northeast is increasing to 
fulfill holiday orders. Some butter manufacturers are reluctant to take on more 
cream than their contract loads. Bulk butter production is slow, and many 
manufacturers are reluctant to increase production. CME butter prices are the 
lowest they've been in the last four years. Cream multiples dropped 
significantly in the Northeast, with some cream destined for churns selling 
flat to the CME. Spot sales of cream remain widely available with slower demand 
this week. Butter export activity is slow.
