     Cheese - Midwestern U.S.

     Report 33 - Released on August 12, 2020

     In the wake of cheese market prices plummeting throughout last week, cheese production is
     active with plenty of milk. Milk prices, early in the week, are in a somewhat similar range
     to last week. Some plant managers suggest workers are more apt to call in, creating some
     short-handedness at times. Nevertheless, production continues somewhat normally/busily. Curd
     orders are strong, while barrel producers say orders are steady. A number of cheese plant
     managers suggest they are at the onset of holiday season preparations. Cheese market tones
     are notably weaker. That said, a number of contacts relay cheese market prices are at more
     reasonable levels both domestically, and importantly, on international markets. Midwestern
     wholesale prices are down $.1050 for Swiss cuts, down $.6575 for process, and down $.4900
     for all other types.
