US dairy margins for June under the Dairy Margin Coverage program are the weakest in about a decade, driven by lower milk prices during the spring flush. Higher milk output after last year's record prices has compressed margins, and futures point to a rebound into fall and winter.
Compressed producer margins can slow herd and milk output over time, which supports a later price recovery. Near-term milk prices remain weak until the seasonal decline passes.
