U.S. average all-milk price hit a 12-month high of $17.60 per cwt in November 2016, and the margin over feed cost also reached a 12-month high. Lower feed costs helped the margin, with corn at $3.23/bu and alfalfa at a 70-month low.
Based on futures, margins were projected at $10.50-$11 per cwt through the first half of 2017.
Higher milk prices combined with lower feed costs widen dairy farm margins, which can support continued milk production and demand for feed.
