# Dairy product prices boosting milk prices

> University of Wisconsin professor emeritus Bob Cropp expects May 2018 dairy product prices to be higher than April if current levels hold, with Class III near $15.25 versus $14.47 in April. Good domestic sales and record March dairy exports have tightened stocks, though higher feed costs may offset margin gains.
