Butter - Central U.S.

Released on June 10, 2026

Milk and cream production are strong in the Central region, but some contacts 
are concerned with increasing temperatures affecting farm output. Cream demand 
from Class II and III facilities remains strong, leaving very little spot cream 
available for Class IV use. Despite that, some facilities are bringing in spot 
volumes of cream from other regions to keep butter churns full and operating 
seven days a week. Domestic spot sales of 80 percent butter are steady. 
Contacts indicate 82 percent butter destined for export is in demand due to 
lower prices compared to other international producers. Retail sales are steady 
to strong and food service demand is light.
