With prices for all milk classes rising during June Dairy Month, milk checks for June milk production will be stronger.

The Federal Milk Marketing Order (FMMO) advanced Class I base price continues to rise, and there’s a change in the Class I mover formula impact, albeit small.

Milk checks for May milk production will improve thanks to a big jump in the Class III milk price, propelled by a large increase in the value of protein.

Here is a look at news affecting your dairy's bottom line before the Memorial Day weekend.

Here’s Progressive Dairy’s monthly review of April 2024 FMMO data to provide some additional transparency to your milk check.

Federal Milk Marketing Order (FMMO) “mailbox” prices averaged about 96 cents per hundredweight (cwt) less than announced average “all-milk” prices in January. It was the widest monthly spread since November 2022.

Milk checks for April milk production will reflect a lower Federal Milk Marketing Order (FMMO) Class III price and a historically low protein component value.
