# Dairy Farmers Get Ready, Analyst Says

> An analyst says milk prices are not strong enough for profit but not weak enough to prompt major operational changes. US dairy exports are running 18 percent above a year earlier, and domestic demand remains solid. Year-to-date milk production is up 1.3 percent, and cow numbers are stable with milk per cow up nearly 1 percent.
