With preliminary September numbers in, the USDA estimated July-September U.S. milk production was up 1.2% from the same period a year ago.

The annual National Cooperative Bank survey showed dairy co-ops made up 16 of the Top 100 cooperatives for revenue in 2021. There were probably more.

Finding consensus on FMMO issues hasn’t been easy.

A wide gap in September Federal Milk Marketing Order (FMMO) Class IV and Class milk prices extends the incentive to depool Class IV milk.

June 2022 “mailbox” prices averaged about $1.03 per hundredweight (cwt) less than announced average “all-milk” prices for the same month.
