The dairy market is experiencing volatility, with cheese prices fluctuating throughout the year, which in turn affects milk prices. Cheddar cheese prices hit record highs in July and August, driving the Class III price to $24.54 in July. However, milk production slowing down and the government's purchase of cheese under the Farm to Families Food Box program contributed to a rise in Class III price, which is expected to approach $19 in October before falling to the $17’s and high $16’s in the following months. Despite the high milk production, Class IV prices have not shown much strength, and the future of milk prices is uncertain due to COVID-19's impact on demand and the potential for increased domestic demand and strong exports.
