# WASDE Lowers Milk Production Forecast • Northwest Iowa Dairy Outlook • Iowa State University Extension and Outreach

> Iowa State's dairy outlook summarizes the April WASDE, which lowered the 2019 milk production forecast as higher cow numbers were offset by slower per-cow growth. Cheese price forecasts were raised, butter, NDM and whey were lowered, and the all-milk price was raised to $17.25-$17.75/cwt.
