Ohio State dairy extension analysis puts the 2023 US all-milk price at about $20.60/cwt, with record-low milk-to-feed margins. The January USDA forecast has the 2024 average slightly below 2023 at $20/cwt, and feed costs are projected to be lower.
Lower projected feed costs and a slightly lower milk price narrow dairy producer margins, which can cut feed purchasing power in the coming year.
