Dairy Report
Compiled by USDA Market News Service • Madison, Wis.
Fluid Milk and Cream — Western U.S.
April 22
Milk production in California is
approaching spring peak levels. Class I
demand is level. Facing another year of
drought, Californians in some areas of
the state have been asked to voluntarily
reduce residential water use. Cutbacks to
irrigation water throughout the summer
are anticipated, and industry contacts
are apprehensive that the cutbacks may
be steep for some farmers.
Arizona milk output is plentiful. Class I
demand is high, and some dairy proces-
sors with available capacity are bringing
in additional milk from out of state.
Milk production in New Mexico is
steady. Class I demand is level. Some
drivers and tankers are being diverted to
other industries, which is creating some
milk hauling delays within New Mexico
and throughout the Southwest.
In the Pacific Northwest, component
levels are high. Milk output is strong
and so is Class I demand. Bottling and
other dairy manufacturing operations
are active, and overbase programs are
also working to manage the abundance
of milk.
Week over week milk production
is starting to decrease a little in the
mountain states of Idaho, Utah, and
Colorado. Class I orders are level. Local
requests for condensed skim spot sales
are reported to be limited, although
contracts are steady. Tanker availability is
a barrier to moving condensed skim out
of the region. Cream supply is adequate
to abundant in the West. Output is
following seasonal patterns, with some
areas starting to see slight decreases.
However, supply is still meeting demand.
Western cream multiples for all classes
are steady.
