# More milk likely in 2025

> U.S. milk production fell below year-earlier levels for 13 straight months until August 2024, and dairy cow numbers declined for 16 months until October. USDA cut its 2025 All-Milk price forecast by 90 cents per cwt. from October to December while raising its 2025 milk production forecast. CME futures pointed to a slightly higher 2025 average price than in 2024.

## Why it matters

Returning herd and production expansion, combined with lower USDA price forecasts, points to a weaker milk price outlook if supply outpaces demand.
