Northeast and Mid-Atlantic milk production is mostly steady, with 
seasonal increases in some areas of the region. Excess milk supplies 
have declined, as wintery conditions prompt upsurges in fluid milk 
demand and milk move into bottling pipelines, with the reopening of 
schools and universities. Class I demand in the Southeast is strong, 
as retailers restock shelves following an influx of demand due to 
recent winter snow/ice storm. Milk handlers report loads into 
manufacturing are little to none. Milk production is growing in 
Florida. Sales have been stronger coming out of the holiday. Shipments 
out of state, this week, declined to 50 loads compared to 150 exports 
last week, due to heightened tourist activity and volumes moving to 
ultra-filtration plants. The fluid cream market remains weak with 
multiples lowering to flat market for some exchanges. Reported 
multiples for Class II cream ranges 1.00-1.20 this week. Condensed 
skim sales are increasing as some plants re-establishes regular 
operating schedules. Movement is occurring into Class III facilities. 
According to the DMN National Retail Report-Dairy, for January 6-12, 
2017, the U.S. weighted average advertised price for a gallon of milk 
was $2.74, up 5 cents from last week and up 20 cents from last year. 
The Southeast weighted average price for a gallon of milk was $3.91, 
while regional prices ranged $3.69-3.99. 
DAIRY PRODUCTS: According to NASS, November 2016 hard ice cream 
production in the Atlantic region totaled 13.6 million gallons, 4.8% 
less than last month and 3.1% less than a year ago. Cumulative U.S. 
2016 production through November totaled 722.6 million gallons, 0.2% 
higher than the previous year total through November. U.S. Yogurt 
production (plain and flavored) for November totaled 326.4 million 
pounds, down 14.3% from last month and down 6.1% from the previous 
year.
