# Dairy prices climb to start the new year - Brownfield Ag News

> Risk management specialist Mike North says nearby dairy prices gained roughly $1.25 in the first days of January. Strength in global markets, a cheese move above $2.00 and seasonal buying and strong exports drove the gains. He also says a USMCA panel ruling favoring the US could help if more US dairy enters Canada.
