MD_DA210 Fluid Milk and Cream - Eastern U.S. Report 41 - Released on October 11, 2023 NOTICE: After October 16, 2023, all information found on this report will transition to a new PDF format. The same data will be collected and disseminated through AMS Marketing Analysis and Reporting Services (MARS) platform. The new pdf report can be accessed on the AMS website at: https://www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/ams_1101.pdf Farm level milk production is mixed throughout the eastern states. In the Northeast, farm level milk outputs are seasonally increasing as temperatures cool. Demand from schools held strong, and Class I orders were not interrupted despite the federal holiday. As milk volumes increase at the farm level, so, too, do volumes available for local processing. Cheese plant managers report increased production schedules, though not all Class III demands are being net. Cream cheese production is steady, but demand continues to outpace milk supplies. Cream supplies remain tight. In the Mid-Atlantic states, farm level milk outputs are trending flat. Bottling orders are steady. Cheese production schedules are not quite matching those in the Northeast, though several contacts expect production to pick up in the near term. Cream supplies remain tight in the area. Demand for all other Classes is unchanged. In the Southeast, milk production at the farm level is flat. The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) notes that pasture conditions have deteriorated in the area due to a lack of precipitation and lower temperatures. Demand for all Classes is steady. Similarly, farm level milk outputs are unchanged in Florida. NASS states that pasture growth was stalled by cooler nighttime temperatures. Class I orders remain steady, and demand for all other Classes is unchanged. Contacts share that demand for cream is expected to increase further as aerated cream and heavy whipping cream see strong retail demands during the holidays. Northeastern U.S., F.O.B.
