# USDA lowers milk production expectations, 2019 all milk price - Brownfield Ag News

> USDA's June supply and demand report lowered its 2019 milk production forecast because of slower milk-per-cow growth and fewer cows, and expects production to stay low in 2020. The agency raised its 2019 and 2020 butter and cheese price forecasts and cut the 2019 all-milk price by a nickel to $18.00.
