# USDA projects milk prices are set for an upward trend

> USDA's June WASDE projected milk prices rising for the rest of 2018 and into 2019, with the all-milk price targeted at $16.60 to $17.00 per cwt for the next six months. The Class III price is set to rise on stronger whey prices. Milk production forecasts were trimmed on lower cow numbers and slower output per cow.
