Butter - Central U.S.
Report 44 - Released on October 28, 2020
Cream remains widely available for butter producers in the region. They report competitive
prices from both local and Western cream sources. Butter demand is seasonally hearty.
Grocers are stocking shelves and butter plant managers are working to keep up. Thus,
churning is very busy for regional producers. Like cheesemakers in the region, there are
some COVID-19 related setbacks regarding working staff. There are expectations of strong
ordering for the next two weeks. Butter market tones remain soft. More contacts are
expecting to see some upticks in export markets, with domestic butter prices becoming
competitive globally.
Prices for: Central U.S., All First Sales, F.O.B., Grade AA, Conventional, and Edible Butter
Bulk Basis Pricing - 80% Butterfat $/LB: 0.0000 - +0.0500
