# Dairy Organizations Work to Keep Milk Flowing

> Dairy checkoff leaders describe how DMI and the US Dairy Export Council are working with supply-chain partners to redirect milk and dairy products to end users. Class III prices have dropped 26% and Class IV 36% in recent days. Foodservice takes about 60% of butter and 40-50% of cheese use, and school closures remove around 7% of fluid milk use.

## Why it matters

Efforts to reconnect supply chains may ease some surplus, but the loss of foodservice and school demand keeps milk prices depressed in the near term.
