Butter Prices Jump as Market Demand Surges
New York Times reports butter has risen seven cents per pound in wholesale markets and may climb further this winter. Packers paid 24 1/2 cents last September versus 22 today, pushing consumer costs to the season’s high in over a quarter century. Analysts expect 50 cents per pound may come before Christmas though some traders deem that unlikely. Traders attribute the rise to broad economic conditions and limited dairy cattle expansion due to farm labor shortages.
