     Butter - Central U.S.

     Report 33 - Released on August 12, 2020

     Butter makers say cream is slightly tighter, but there is enough to keep Midwestern plants
     at or near capacity. A few butter plant managers suggest they are fortunate to have
     internally sourced cream, because offers from outside their organizations would be out of
     their financial grasp. Regardless, cream churning is busy in both the upper Midwest and in
     the south Central areas. Additionally, bulk butter loads are available. Retail demand has
     slid, and food service numbers lag behind previous years' numbers. Undoubtedly, butter
     makers are working through potential food service hurdles with school populations expected
     to be lighter and/or start times to be delayed. Butter market tones are unsteady. Some
     butter market participants relay $1.50 to $2.00 butter market prices are expected until the
     year's end.
