Dairy economist Bob Cropp expects the Class III milk price to rise about $2.40 in June to around $16.30, after bottoming at $13.89 in February. USDA data showed US cow numbers down 0.9% year over year and milk per cow below trend.
Lower milk output is cutting butter, cheese and dry whey production.
Shrinking herd and milk supply tighten dairy product output and support higher milk prices, with forecasts pointing toward about $18 Class III by fall. Dairy feed buyers should expect firmer milk-price signals.
