     Butter - Central U.S.

     Report 29 - Released on July 21, 2021

     Butter sales for July have softened according to some producers in the region. They say June
     was a better month for food service sales than what July is proving to be, while June and
     July retail interests are similarly seasonally quiet. Production methods depend on the
     plant, but some producers say micro-fixing rates are higher, while others have been churning
     regularly for months. Cream is more available this week, according to plant managers. They
     say cream offers from Western states increased, as well as local sources. Butter market
     tones are quietly hovering in the low $1.70s after a stumble down into the $1.60s late last
     week.
