Iowa Farm Outlook Reveals Brighter Dairy Prices
Iowa State marketing economist J R Strain says dairy prices will rise 30 to 40 cents per cwt this spring from the prior year due to lower production and depleted manufactured dairy stocks. He notes consumer prices may climb too, while cows milk output fell last year and government stockpiles dropped. If production does not rebound, a milk shortage could appear in fall but the year should still see a slower price decline.
