The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic milk production remains significantly above 
previous year's levels.  Most schools and universities are back in 
session, prompting stronger Class I demand.  Icy roads and wintery 
conditions, at the first of the week, led to a few milk delays to 
processing plants.  Milk production in the Southeast is steady.  Sales are 
increasing with active Class I demand.  Milk re-distribution continues as 
a bottling plant remains down.  A few orders were cut with the fulfillment 
of post-holiday school needs.  Manufacturing milk supplies are adequate. 
In Florida, temperatures are average with cool nights hovering in the 30s 
while daytime highs range in the 60s to 70s.  Increases in milk production 
are showing signs of leveling off.  Class I demand remains strong.  Milk 
spot shipments into the state have dropped slightly this week, totaling 
125 loads compared to 150 last week.  Cream supplies are available in most 
production channels.  Trading in the spot market has declined compared to 
last week.  Some contacts expect cream supplies to outlast demand.  
Multiples for all Classes moved higher, ranging from 1.15-1.24.  Class II 
orders are good for products such as dips and sour cream in preparation 
for consumers Super Bowl party needs.  Condensed skim supplies are 
sufficient.  Class II spot transactions are sluggish.  Manufacturing 
volumes clearing to Class IV production are steady.
