Milk price drop forecast continues into summer
Wisconsin dairy economist Dr. Bob Cropp warns milk pay prices may fall another 20 to 25 cents per hundred by July amid a 50 cent USDA cut looming on July 1. He notes April reductions produced a larger drop in pay price than the official support cut, driven by falling cheese values and changes in whey powder valuation, affecting dairy plants and cheesemakers statewide.
