USDA lowered its 2019 milk production forecast on lower cow numbers and raised its forecasts for cheese, butter and nonfat dry milk prices, while whey prices were trimmed slightly. The all-milk price forecast is $17 to $17.60, roughly steady with the previous report.
Butterfat and skim-solids export forecasts were reduced.
