The National Milk Producers Federation reports that US milk and dairy prices have reached their highest levels in nearly five years. Key drivers include a shrinking US dairy herd, higher per-cow output, stronger domestic demand, and the liquidation of EU skim milk powder stocks.
Tighter US milk supply and firm prices support dairy values, while weaker dry whey and China-related export losses limit the upside.
