Benchmark milk price reverses five months of gain Farm milk prices have peaked for 2012. The Agriculture Department announced the November Federal order benchmark Class III price Wednesday at $20.83 per hundredweight, down 19 cents from October but still $1.76 above November 2011, a whopping $2.35 above California’s comparable 4b cheese milk price, and the highest November price ever. It equates to about $1.79 per gallon. The 2012 average stands at $17.33, down a dollar from this time a year ago and compares to $14.46 in 2010 and a disastrous $11.03 in 2009. The December Class III futures contract was trading late Friday morning at $18.47. January was at $18.79; February, $18.76; March, $18.78; and April at $18.75. The November Class IV price is $18.66, up 12 cents from October and 79 cents above a year ago. The AMS-surveyed cheese price averaged $2.0146 per pound, down 3.3 cents from October. Butter averaged $1.8410, down 7.6 cents. Nonfat dry milk averaged $1.5143, up 5.1 cents, and dry whey averaged 64.8 cents up 2.8 cents. California’s November 4b cheese milk price was $18.48, down 95 cents from October but $1.29 above a year ago. That put its 2012 average at $15.47, down $1.01 from a year ago and $2.22 above 2010. The 4a butter powder price is $18.27, up 31 cents from October and 57 cents above a year ago. Its 2012 average is $15.46, down $3.56 from a year ago but 64 cents above 2010. Dairy Prot Weekly (DPW) reported that a record-tying U.S. average milk price wasn’t enough to drastically improve the monthly milk-feed price ratio, but November’s index did represent the 5th consecutive month of small improvements, according to USDA’s latest Ag Prices report. The higher milk price, combined with slightly lower corn and soybean prices, helped push the preliminary November milk-feed price ratio to 1.79, the highest since last December. However, it remains below a year ago, and marks the 20th consecutive month below 2.0. The index is based on the current milk price in relationship to feed prices for a ration of 51 percent corn, 8 percent soybeans and 41 percent alfalfa hay. At $22.10, the preliminary November U.S. average all-milk price equals a record high set last August, according to DPW. Average corn ($6.71 per bushel) and soybean ($13.80 per bushel) prices were the lowest in ve months, but dry alfalfa hay prices ($215 per ton) returned to the 2012 high set last May. USDA says the average annual milk-feed price ratio was 1.88 in 2011 and 2.26 in 2010. The cash cheese market was quiet the rst week of December. The AMS-surveyed, U.S. average block price dropped 7.7 cents, hitting $1.9197, while the barrels averaged $1.8373, down 7.9 cents. Cheese plants were busier as extra manufactur-

ing milk was available over the Thanksgiving holiday and long weekend, according to USDA’s Dairy Market News (DMN). The lower cheese prices have buyers ordering to rell store shelves after the holiday. Retail sales were reported as good. Recent price declines also helped spark interest into aging programs, according to DMN. Cash butter inched up a half-cent Wednesday reversing 12 consecutive sessions of loss but still lost ground for the fourth week in a row. AMS butter plunged 14.6 cents, averaging $1.7088. AMS powder averaged $1.5310, up 1.1 cent, and dry whey averaged 65.7 cents, up 0.3 cent. Churning over the Thanksgiving holiday was seasonally strong, according to DMN, as surplus cream was plentiful. Milk handling returned to normal following the Thanksgiving holiday. Class I orders were increased as schools and colleges resumed. Milk production in the Southwest is following the recent theme of incremental week-to-week increases but trailing year ago levels. Pacic Northwest output is also below last year, attributed to fewer cows and less output per cow. Milk volumes are steady in Utah and Idaho. Seasonal milk production patterns are prevalent across the Midwest with milk component tests steady to slightly higher. Milk is being moved around to balance dairy product inventories and maximize returns. Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast output is increasing marginally, yet trending below a year ago. Commercial disappearance of dairy products in the rst nine months of 2012 totaled 151 billion pounds, up 2.1 percent from 2011. Butter was up 3.1 percent; American cheese, up 2.2 percent; other cheese, up 2.2 percent; nonfat dry milk was up 27.9 percent; but uid milk products were off 2.2 percent. Jerry Dryer commented on the uid sales in his November 30 Dairy and Food Market Analyst: “Part of the decline was driven by school milk sales or more appropriately, the lack of chocolate milk sales, as many school districts banned or limited chocolate milk at the beginning of this school year. Sugar was the culprit, not the milk. Unfortunately, kids have a strong preference for chocolate.” October butter production hit 46 million pounds, up 6.8 percent from September and only slight above October 2011, according to USDA’s latest Dairy Products report. Nonfat dry milk, at 95 million pounds, was up 12.4 percent from September but 5.6 percent below a year ago. American type cheese output, at 371 million was up 6.1 percent from September and 5.1 percent above a year ago. Italian type, at 388 million, was up 4.8 percent from September and 0.9 percent above a year ago. Total cheese production amounted to 928 million pounds, 6.3 percent above September output and 3.2 percent from a year ago. Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) accepted 10 requests for export assistance this week to sell 1.3 million pounds of cheese, 1.1 million pounds of butter, and 85,890 pounds of whole milk powder (WMP) to customers in Asia and the Middle East. The product will be delivered through February and raised 2012 CWT cheese exports to 113.6 million pounds, 70.5 million of butter, 127,868 pounds of anhydrous milk fat, and 171,961 pounds of WMP to 36 countries. We mentioned the draught here a few weeks ago, something that we haven’t heard much about in the major press for a long time but its effect is still with us. The November 30 Daily Dairy Report (DDR) pointed out that the U.S. winter wheat crop is entering dormancy in the worst condition on record. DDR analyst Sarina Sharp talked about it in the Daily Dairy Discussion on the DDR website. She reported that only 33 percent of the crop is in good or excellent shape, compared to 52 percent at this time last year. The plains states are still struggling with severe to extreme drought, and in the driest areas, an alarming portion of the crop has not emerged. She reported that only 60 percent of South Dakota’s wheat crop has emerged, compared to 100 percent a year ago. Much of the seed that has not emerged likely has blown away in the dust. Wheat could deteriorate further under cold, dry conditions, according to Sharp. Dormant winter wheat is typically insulated from damaging cold by snow cover. But there is little moisture in the forecast,
and this year the crop could be unprotected. A lack of winter moisture could extend the devastating drought into the start of the next crop year. She said it’s too early to assume this dryness will persist until spring but warned that feed prices will be highly sensitive to any indication that the Corn Belt is facing a multi-year drought. A large crop is needed to replenish stocks or end users will face another year of demand rationing and record-high grain prices. Lingering drought could also restrict the supply and quality of forage and increase competition for limited supplies, according to Sharp, and “The quality of forage used in dairy cow rations has a signicant impact on production. Dairy producers will likely have to pay a considerable premium for good-quality forage if drought continues, and milk production per cow could suffer. As the drought reduces winter pasture available for beef cattle, more cattle will be placed on feedlots and consume purchased forage. Dairy producers will be forced to compete for these supplies.” In dairy politics; a letter was delivered to Members of Congress this week from 42 organizations and 149 businesses which serve dairy farmers and rural communities that called on lawmakers to review the dairy policies that have “contributed to the nancial crisis experienced by the majority of dairy farmers across the United States.” “Federal dairy policies have been hammering dairy farmers for more than 30 years,” the letter charged. “There were 600,000 U.S. dairy farms in 1976, dropping to 131,509 by 1992, and to 51,481 by 2012. It is unthinkable that Congress continues to formulate policies that will likely be responsible for a continued decline in the number of U.S. dairy farms.” The letter added that the crisis affects farmers, their families, and “the entire rural economy.” The International Dairy Foods Association’s Jerry Slominski told DairyLine listeners this week that processors support an extension of the current farm bill. And in the latest “war out West;” Dairy Prot Weekly’s Dave Natzke detailed how the debate in California over the 4b pricing formula centers on the value of dry whey, which has increased in both demand and value in recent years. As a result of the current pricing formula, California dairy farmers receive substantially less than dairy farmers who market milk used for cheese through federal orders. California is the nation’s second-leading cheese producing state, with well over 40 percent of its milk turned into cheese, Natzke said, “So, we’re talking about a lot of milk, and a lot of money.” Dairy farmers in California contend they should be getting a greater share of that value through the Class 4b minimum milk price paid by cheese manufacturers. Cheese makers contend dry whey manufacturing is a capital intensive process, and that, with California milk processing capacity already stretched to the maximum, they are unable to pass higher milk prices back to the farmers. The debate over the issue has played out for years and continued on two fronts this week, according to Natzke. Dairy producer organizations California Dairies, Inc. (CDI), Dairy Farmers of America – Western Area Council (DFA) and Land O’Lakes, Inc. (LOL) submitted a petition to the California Department of Food & Agriculture (CDFA) requesting an emergency public hearing to consider a change to the Class 4b pricing formula. It’s the third hearing request in the past 5 months, and, as in two previous petitions which were denied by CDFA, this one seeks to modify the dry whey factor for a period of 6 months, raising the price paid to dairy farmers as they deal with skyrocketing feed costs. Separate from the hearing request, state Assemblyman Dr. Richard Pan (D-Sacramento), introduced Assembly Bill 31in the California Legislature that would force CDFA’s hand. Similar to proposals submitted for administrative hearings, this legislation would require CDFA to set a dry whey factor at no less than 80 percent of the value used in establishing minimum producer prices in federal milk marketing orders, according to DPW. The Milk Producers Council’s Board of Directors voted Wednesday to support the measure.
Key points from the Midwest Dairy Expo The proceedings from the Midwest Dairy Expo are available at www.mnmilk.org. Look for the “Programs” section on the webpage. Then look for “Midwest Dairy Expo.” Then look for “Midwest Dairy Expo Proceedings Available.” You will nd information from most of the presentations made at the Expo. It’s not quite like being there to listen to the discussion and to be able to ask questions, but certainly a good opportunity to pick up some key points from a wide variety of topics. Glen and Sadie Frericks and Grant and April Post from the Beginning Dairy Farmer’s Panel outlined By Dan Martens some steps they took to get started U of M Extension and list some key points of advice for the younger generation and for the older generation. For example, for the young: You can’t expect to have the nal say; and for the older: Listen to the ideas of the younger generation. They also list some of the pros and cons they discovered in moving from a partnership to operating on their own. Both the Posts and the Frericks talked about learning how to work and learn together in their own family along with other people they worked with. Cooling grain for winter The key strategy from fall going into winter is to cool the grain so there are not moisture condensation issues in bins. Condensation can be an issue as the grain cools from the outside of the bin toward the middle moving into winter. This is more common as an issue in bins that are more than two or three thousand bushels, but smaller bins can have issues also. The recommended strategy is to follow weather trends and to keep the grain cooled to a temperature that is within 20 degrees of the outside air temperature. This is more challenging when the temperature bounces around a lot from week to week, but the 20 degree margin gives a fair amount of room to work with. National Weather Service data says the average daily temperature in the St. Cloud area is 21 degrees on the rst of the December with an average high of 30 and an average low of 13. The average daily temperature is an average of the high and the low for the day. So if we use an average temperature of 21 degrees then, allowing a 20 degree margin, we’d want the grain cooled down to at least 40 degrees now. For December 30, the average daily temperature at St. Cloud is listed as 12 degrees with an average high of 22 and an average low of 3 degrees. With a 12 degree average, allowing a 20 degree margin, we’d want the grain cooled down to 32 degrees or less. The average daily temperature for January runs from 11 to 13 degrees. So for normal winters, we gure we should be in pretty good shape by cooling grain down to about 30 degrees when we get suitable weather for doing that. It is good to check bins for any signs of moisture condensation or heating. You might nd condensation on the surface of the grain, particularly near the center of the bin. Sometimes warmer air in the center of the grain mass rises toward the top and condensation occurs when it meets the cooler surface of the grain.

Winter wheat on the ropes? Minnesota Extension Climatologist Mark Seeley shared information recently from reports indicating that over 60 percent of the land area in the 48 contiguous states is still rated in a signicant drought category. Reports show 65 percent of the winter wheat in drought affected areas. In South Dakota, only 60 percent of the winter wheat had emerged by November 25, compared to a 5 year average of 100 percent. There’s probably not much left to gain. Twenty-six percent of the U.S. Winter wheat crop was rated in very poor to poor condition on Nov. 25.

Albert Einstein famously said that the same thinking that got you into a problem in the rst place can’t be used to get you out of it. That’s why we at NMPF are using some new ideas about how to protect and promote U.S. dairy products in the 21st century, through the revitalization of the venerable REAL® Seal. The dairy marketing landscape has changed in recent decades, giving us both new problems – and new opportunities. Those with a history in the dairy business will recall that the REAL® Seal was rst deployed more than 30 years ago to combat the rising threat of imitation cheeses, which began to appear with alarming frequency on frozen pizzas. Dairy farmers fought By Jerry Kozak President/CEO NMPF this trend of faux cheese by developing a simple logo that manufacturers and marketers of real cheese could use to signify the authenticity of their products. As the threat from fake cheeses faded, the rationale for aggressively promoting the Seal likewise receded. But in the past decade, we’ve seen the appearance of new competitive threats, from an assortment of dairy analogues that are every bit as concerning as the vegetable-oil based cheeses of the disco era. Hemp “milk,” soy “cheese,” rice “yogurt”…the list of imitators continues to expand. And as we think about how to challenge the rise of these competitors, we need new thinking, in the form of an old weapon with new capabilities: the REAL® Seal. Back in March, NMPF assumed management of the REAL® Seal program from the United Dairy Industry Association. This agreement gives NMPF the responsibility to review how, and by whom, the Seal is used, using some the same parameters of the past – but not all. As discussed at last month’s NMPF annual meeting in Orlando, the REAL® Seal allows us to play offense, by helping consumers distinguish between products made from real milk, and those that are either imported, or not made from cow’s milk at all. Research conducted by Dairy Management Inc. has found that the Seal has 91 percemt consumer awareness – meaning nine out of ten people recognize it — and 78 percent of consumers are familiar

enough with it to know what it stands for. What’s more, 360 food companies are registered to use the REAL® Seal on more than 10,000 products. That’s a reection of where things stand today. But by allowing the words “American made” to accompany the existing logo, we can help both private label and branded manufacturers, active in both domestic and international markets, distinguish their products from competitors from foreign nations. And by adding the words “made with real dairy ingredients” or “made with real butter” (or cheese), we can help food processors promote their use of dairy ingredients from real cows’ milk, and encourage the use of such ingredients over imitators. These additional label claims also will draw attention to the superior nutrient content of dairy foods, which in most cases offer a better nutritional prole than plant-based imitators. Unfortunately, the apparent thinking these days at the Food and Drug Administration is that imitation dairy products using standard dairy names are not a concern worth countering. So if the FDA won’t preserve the integrity of dairy products and how they’re labeled, we need to use other tools at our disposal to help customers and consumers get the facts about real dairy products. We’ve seen an explosion of label qualiers in the past decade, from the rise of certied organic, to absence claims of dubious signicance. There’s a desire for transparency and authenticity in food sourcing that processors and manufacturers are seeking to address. The bottom line is that we know at least some consumers today are asking where products are from, who makes them, and what’s inside them. The REAL® Seal was created more than three decades ago to answer those questions, and even though the questions (and the thinking behind them) have changed somewhat, the answers that real dairy foods offer are still the same.
