USDA reported the July Federal Order Class III milk price at $17.55 per hundredweight, the first time since early 2015 it exceeded $17.00. The price was $1.28 above June and $3.45 above July 2018, and the Class IV price reached $16.90.
A multi-year high Class III price improves dairy producer margins and supports herd retention and feed demand, pointing to firmer milk values.
