“Maybe we need a new supply threat to get back to $19 to $20 Class III milk prices,” he said. “It’s been an exhausting three or four months. We don’t have a lot of milk or dairy products compared to consumption. But the cheese market flips back and forth each week from thinking we have too much cheese to too little in a very, very short period of time. We’ve seen this pretty dramatic correction to the Class III milk-corn ratio. We’re headed back to levels we haven’t seen since the middle of last year, and we haven’t seen on a lasting basis for the last 2½ years.”

We lost a lot of milk production in the southwestern U.S., particularly Texas,” he said. “And dairy cow slaughter is still 4% to 6% above what it was a year ago. I think milk output per cow will look very bearish for the foreseeable future.”

At the same time, New Zealand milk production is also contracting for the first time in 2023.

“The U.S. and New Zealand are the two largest dairy exporters in the world,” Buckner explained. Seeing New Zealand’s milk production collapse at the same time U.S. milk production is down points to higher prices.

“The balance sheet is tightening, and the outlook is bullish based on consumption trends and seasonal trends,” Buckner said. “We are back to where we were at the beginning of 2023.”

Growing up in SE WI I never really knew much about the old Agricultural School near Burlington, but it was a resource for many youth from 1912 until it closed in 1959, helping advance and pave the way for a new generation of WI agriculture. https://t.co/9lfmjA6qx7 #wihistory
