US dairy prices have risen double digits this year, driven by domestic demand recovery from food service reopening and higher exports, with nonfat dry milk exports up 12% and cheese exports up 9%. The US milk cow herd fell to 9.4 million head in September, down 85,000 from the May peak, and western drought has raised feed costs for corn and hay.
A shrinking herd and drought-driven feed cost increases tighten milk supply, supporting dairy prices while raising corn and hay demand concerns for feed buyers.
