Butter prices fall on Chicago exchange and milk links
Butter prices dropped across grades on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange with Grade AA and Grade A each down about 5 percent to roughly 1.39 per pound and Grade B at 1.36. Milk price trends and July Minnesota Wisconsin Series values tied to milkfat levels help explain the decline while U S butter production rose 19 percent in June and cheese output rose 6 percent, with ice cream production down 3 percent.
