USDA To Buy 11 Million Pounds Of Cheddar For Nutrition Programs

ldquoThis commodity purchase is part of a robust comprehensive safety net that will help reduce a cheese surplus that is at a 30-year high while at the same time moving a high-protein food to the tables of those most in needrdquo Vil-sack continued

US natural cheese stocks at the end of July totaled about 1276 bil-lion pounds In the 1980s when USDA was buying and storing hundreds of million pounds of sur-plus cheese and other dairy prod-ucts cheese stocks peaked at 1248 billion pounds at the end of Sep-tember 1983 according to figures from USDArsquos National Agricul-tural Statistics Service

ldquoUSDA will continue to look for ways within its authorities to tackle food insecurity and provide for added stability in the market-placerdquo Vilsack added

ldquoThis cheese purchase will pro-vide some assistance to Americarsquos dairy farmers through increased demand for their milk while also serving the needs of Americans who patronize food banks and other charitable assistance orga-

Aim Is To Assist Food Banks And Reduce Cheese Surplus USDA To Issue Solicitation In Near FutureWashingtonmdashThe US Depart-ment of Agriculture (USDA) on Tuesday announced plans to pur-chase approximately 11 million pounds of Cheddar cheese from private inventories to assist food banks and pantries while reducing a cheese surplus that the agency said is at its highest level in 30 years

The purchase valued at $20 million will be provided to fami-lies in need across the US through USDA nutrition assistance pro-grams

USDA is purchasing the Ched-dar cheese under Section 32 of the Agriculture Act of 1935 USDArsquos Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) explained

A solicitation for the Ched-dar cheese will be issued in the near future AMS said All offers must be submitted electronically through the Web-Based Supply Chain Management (WBSCM) website

Offerors are urged to review all documents as they per-tain to this program includ-ing the applicable commodity specification(s) identified in the subsequent solicitation(s) and the qualification requirements for prospective contractors sell-ing commodities to USDA dated October of 2014

These documents are available on the AMS Commodity Procure-ment website at wwwamsusdagovselling-food

In recent weeks USDA has received requests from National Milk Producers Federation American Farm Bureau Federa-tion National Farmers Union and more than 60 members of Congress either to buy cheese to help boost milk prices or to use its authority under the Commodity Credit Corporation Act to help dairy farmers

ldquoWe understand that the nationrsquos dairy producers are expe-riencing challenges to market conditions and that food banks continue to see strong demand for assistancerdquo said US Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack

Michigan Joins The Top Five Dairy States

D I C K G R O V E S

Publisher EditorCheese Reportere dgrovescheesereportercomtw cheesereporter

EDITORIAL COMMENT

It doesnrsquot happen very often but itrsquos happening here in 2016 therersquos a new member of the top five milk-producing states

Specifically Michigan has at least temporarily and possibly for a long time moved into the num-ber five spot in US milk produc-tion mdash trailing only California Wisconsin Idaho and New York mdash bumping Pennsylvania into the number six spot

Michigan has been closing in on Pennsylvania for quite a while now The gap in milk production between the two states was 552 million pounds last year down from over 1 billion pounds in 2014 and almost 14 billion pounds in 2013

In June Michiganrsquos milk pro-duction topped Pennsylvaniarsquos output by 8 million pounds and that was also the gap between the two states in July With that small gap itrsquos likely that Pennsylvania will still end up ranking fifth in milk production for 2016 but Michigan appears poised to move solidly into the number five spot for the foreseeable future

Trends thus far in 2016 help support that view During the first quarter Michiganrsquos milk output was up 83 percent from a year ear-lier while Pennsylvaniarsquos was up 14 percent Second-quarter pro-duction increases were 63 percent for Michigan and 05 percent for Pennsylvania

Further in July Michiganrsquos milk cow numbers were up 11000 head from a year earlier while Pennsylvaniarsquos cow numbers were unchanged And Michiganrsquos out-put per cow in July was up 40 pounds from July of 2015 while Pennsylvaniarsquos output per cow was up just five pounds As a result Michiganrsquos July production was up 45 percent from July of 2015 while Pennsylvaniarsquos was up just 03 percent

Michiganrsquos move into the top five dairy states and Pennsylva-niarsquos fall into the number six posi-tion got us wondering When was the last time the top five dairy

states didnrsquot include California Wisconsin New York Idaho and Pennsylvania

That would be in 2002 That year the top five dairy states were in order California Wisconsin New York Pennsylvania and Minnesota Idaho ranked sixth followed by New Mexico and then Michigan

In 2003 Idaho bumped Minne-sota out of the top five and since then the top five states have been unchanged There has been some shifting among the top five with Pennsylvania falling to fifth and Idaho and New York taking turns in third and fourth but the top five states have been unchanged since 2003

With this history in mind we thought it would be interesting to look back a bit further to see how the top five dairy states has evolved over the past half-century or so and where the current top five has ranked over the years (if they werenrsquot yet in the top five)

Back in 1960 the top five milk-producing states were in order Wisconsin Minnesota New York California and Pennsylvania Michigan actually ranked seventh that year while Idaho ranked 21st In addition to Michigan other states that ranked sixth through 10th back in 1960 were in order Iowa Ohio Illinois and Missouri Obviously there was a lot of milk being produced in the central part of the US back then (and now)

In 1970 the top five dairy states were in order Wisconsin New York Minnesota California and Pennsylvania Michigan continued to rank seventh while Idaho had dropped to 23rd

Ten years later the top five dairy states was still the same with one state making a big move Those five states were in order Wiscon-sin California New York Minne-sota and Pennsylvania Michigan ranked sixth in milk production in 1980 although the gap between Michigan and Pennsylvania was about 35 billion pounds Idaho moved up to 19th

In 1990 the top five dairy states were in order Wisconsin Cali-fornia New York Minnesota and Pennsylvania Michigan ranked seventh that year (Texas moved up to sixth) and Idaho had moved up to 12th

And then in 2000 the top five dairy states were in order Califor-nia Wisconsin New York Penn-sylvania and Minnesota Idaho had moved up to sixth while Michigan fell to eighth (Texas was seventh)

From all of this we can reach several conclusions the most obvi-ous being that the top five milk-producing states doesnrsquot change all that often Indeed the top five states in 2000 was the same as it was back in 1960 (although the top five in 1960 was different than in 1950 with Pennsylvania replac-ing Iowa) Thatrsquos why Idaho mov-ing into the top five back in 2003 was a big change and Michigan moving into the top five now is a big change

And this of course leads to the obvious question of what state will be next in joining the top five dairy states The answer isnrsquot any easier than trying to predict what the CME block Cheddar price will average next year

At the top of the list Califor-nia remains a solid number one although the gap between Califor-nia and Wisconsin has declined a bit it remained over 10 billion pounds last year And New York and Idaho look solid in the num-ber three and four positions (New York outproduced Pennsylvania by over 3 billion pounds last year)

Assuming Michiganrsquos milk pro-duction continues to grow the statersquos hold on the number five spot appears solid Texas had outpro-duced Michigan as recently as in 2014 and at this point is expand-ing its milking herd at almost the same pace as Michigan so at this point the only feasible change would be Texas passing Michigan

But Michigan ranked eighth back when Idaho moved into the top five states so maybe we should keep our eyes on Minnesota

Macroeconomic Factors Previously Boosted Ag Exports Are Now Cutting Volumes PricesWashingtonmdashMacroeconomic factors played a ldquokey rolerdquo in the steady expansion of US agricul-tural exports that began in the early 2000s and peaked at a record $1523 billion in fiscal year 2014 but the current macroeconomic outlook implies weaker prospects for near- and medium-term global agricultural consumption and import growth and for US agricul-turersquos share of global exports

Thatrsquos among the findings of a report Global Macroeconomic Developments Drive Downturn in US Agricultural Exports which was recently released by USDArsquos Eco-nomic Research Service (ERS)

Robust income gains particu-larly in China and other devel-oping countries boosted import demand for foods feeds and fibers the report noted An extended period of dollar depreciation dur-ing 2003-12 supported the increas-ing competitiveness of US exports

Other factors including declin-ing global stocks of major com-modities rising demand for biofuel feedstocks slowed growth in pro-ductivity and weather-related pro-duction shortfalls also contributed to upward pressure on agricultural markets the report added

Since 2014 however a number of these market fundamentals have changed the report pointed out Global income growth has slowed the dollar has strengthened sub-stantially against the currencies of many US agricultural export mar-kets and competitors foreign com-petition has increased and growth in biofuel markets has slowed

The net effect of these and other factors has been generally over-supplied markets and rising global stocks-to-use ratios for many major agricultural commodities

As macroeconomic conditions as well as other market fundamen-tals have changed US agricultural exports fell more than 8 percent to $1397 billion in fiscal 2015 driven primarily by lower prices and are forecast to fall an addi-tional 105 percent to $1250 bil-lion in fiscal 2016

Further the USDA agricultural projections released in February 2016 reflect substantially lower global real gross domestic product (GDP) growth and a stronger US dollar in the near term (2016-17) and medium term (2018-2020) than did previous projections released in 2015

Three major shifts in global mac-roeconomic trends beginning in late 2014 and continuing through-out 2015 supported the sharply dif-ferent assumptions underlying the 2016 USDA projections and the 2015 USDA projections A stronger US dollar US

agricultural exports are tied closely to the value of the dollar relative

to the currencies of US export markets and competitors Since 2014 the appreciation of the dol-lar against most currencies includ-ing a pattern of relatively strong appreciation against the currencies of major competitors has generally reduced the demand for and com-petitiveness of US ag commodities Weaker income growth in

developing countries Global and US ag export growth is tied closely to rising incomes in developing-country markets in Asia Latin America the Middle East and Africa For the 2015 USDA pro-jections per capita GDP growth for developing countries in 2015 was forecast at 36 percent forthe 2016 USDA projections the

developing-country growth rate for 2015 fell to 26 percent

By comparison the average per capita GDP growth rate for devel-oping countries during 2001-13 was about 42 percent Declining oil prices The

average refiner acquisition price of crude oil in 2015 was $4639 per barrel down nearly half from the $9114 per barrel assumed in the 2015 USDA projections The 2016 USDA projections assume that oil prices will remain in the low $50-per-barrel range during 2016 and 2017 rising slowly to roughly $80 per barrel by 2025

Together these shifts led to a macroeconomic outlook charac-terized by weaker global demand for ag products diminished US export competitiveness and lower energy and other commodity prices relative to the 2015 projections

The changes in the macroeco-nomic outlook underlying the 2016 projections led to estimated reduc-tions in projected world prices ranging from 3 to 16 percent in the near term and 5 to 19 percent in the medium term compared with the 2015 USDA projections

The largest price impacts are for crops with relatively smaller impacts for meat

Percentage reductions in pro-jected US export volumes are largest for corn wheat and rice Almost across the board percent-age declines in US exports are larger than those in world trade indicating reduced US market sharesIn a scenario that explores only the impact of an extended period of dollar appreciation beyond that assumed in the 2016 USDA projections results indicate further reductions

Milk prices continue to show strong recovery from the lows in April and May The August Class III price will be near $17 about $175 higher than $1524 in July and about $425 higher than $1276 in May Higher Class III prices are driven by much higher cheese prices and some improve-ment in dry whey prices

Cheese prices are the highest since November of 2014 On the CME 40-pound Cheddar blocks averaged $16613 per pound in July but have been between $17325 and $18650 during August Ched-dar barrels averaged $17363 per pound in July but have been between $17750 and $188 during August Dry whey averaged $026 per pound in July and increased to $029 in August

The August Class IV price will be near $1477 $209 higher than the low of $1268 in April But little lower butter and nonfat dry milk prices will lower the August Class IV price to about $1478 compared to $1484 in July CME butter averaged $22731 per pound in July and has been between $215 and $227 range in August Non-fat dry milk averaged $08638 per pound in July and has been between $083 and $08475 range in August

This much increase in cheese prices was not anticipated Cheese stocks have been increasing June 30th total cheese stocks were a record high at 96 percent higher than a year ago and 139 percent higher than the five year average for this date But higher Cheddar cheese prices were driven by good sales lower production with June 35 percent lower than a year ago and fresh Cheddar cheese supply tighter than more aged cheese

Butter prices have been held in check with June 30th stocks 274 percent higher than a year ago and 35 percent higher than the five-year average for this date This was the highest butter stocks since June of 1993 June butter produc-tion was 64 percent higher than a year ago

June 30th nonfat dry milk stocks were 94 percent lower than a year ago but 13 percent higher than the five year average for this date June nonfat dry milk production was 132 percent lower than a year ago as skim milk powder produc-tion for export increased 595 per-cent

Dairy product prices were not helped by exports since June exports continued below year ago levels

Compared to June a year ago exports were lower by 9 percent for nonfat dry milkskim milk powder 33 percent lower for but-terfat 12 percent lower for cheese and 2 percent lower for dry whey However whey protein concen-trate exports increased 52 percent as China bought a record volume and increased exports to Southeast Asia

On a total solids basis June exports were equivalent to 149 percent of milk production the highest since April 2015 Imports were equivalent to 41 percent of milk production

Whether cheese prices hold at these improved levels and sup-porting higher Class III prices will depend a lot upon the level of milk production as well as continued strong sales Milk production for the month of July was 14 percent higher than last year driven mainly by improved milk per cow up 12 percent Cow numbers increased

two months in a row with July numbers up 2000 head from June

Californiarsquos milk production continues below a year ago but the decline is slowing with July down just 08 percent Milk production has picked up in Idaho with July 37 percent higher than a year ago While milk per cow was higher in New Mexico 13000 fewer cows put July milk production 12 percent lower Texas added 9000 cows and with more milk per cow July pro-duction was 44 percent higher

July milk production was up 40 percent in New York 45 percent in Michigan 25 percent in Iowa 15 percent in Minnesota 59 per-cent in South Dakota and 21 percent in Wisconsin It appears that some of the hot and humid weather in July had little impact on milk production in the North-east and Upper Midwest

Last year milk production for the first half of the year was 17 percent higher than the year before but production slowed during the second half to just 08 percent

This year milk production for the first half of the year leap year adjusted was 11 percent higher With the weaker increase the sec-ond half of the year last year pro-duction will remain higher than a year ago and could end the year about 16 percent higher than last year

Exports may start to show some improvement Milk production in the EU 28 countries which was run-ning more than 5 percent higher earlier is now just 1 percent Milk production is also projected to be lower in Australia New Zealand and Argentina China has been a little more active in imports But there is still excess world stocks to work off US faces strong com-pletion from both EU and New Zealand for markets World dairy product prices are improving but remain well below US prices

So any major improvement in exports is not likely before well into 2017

Class III futures are near $17 for August and remain in the $17s through November before drop-ping to the $16s in December and continuing in the $16s for 2017 These prices appear to be a little optimistic

Once buyers are comfortable with their cheese and butter inven-tories to support the strong selling period of Thanksgiving through Christmas we could see lower cheese prices pushing the Class III price once again back to the $15s by November and December It will take continued strong cheese sales and slower growth in milk production to support the current Class III futures BC


FDA Draft Guidance Explains Agencyrsquos Views On Several Preventive Controls RegulationsChapters Cover Conducting Hazard Analysis Potential Hazards Application Of Preventive ControlsWashingtonmdashThe FDA this week issued new draft guidance that the agency said will help industry to comply with certain requirements of the preventive controls for human food final rule

The draft guidance involves five chapters of what will be multi-chapter guidance intended to explain FDArsquos current think-ing on how to comply with the requirements for hazard analysis and risk-based preventive con-trols under the final rule ldquoCurrent Good Manufacturing Practice Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Foodrdquo which the agency released last September

The guidance is directed to those food companies that are subject to the preventive controls for human food (PCHF) requirements Com-panies only need to apply preven-tive controls if after conducting a hazard analysis of the products and processes conducted at their facilities they identify known or reasonably foreseeable biological chemical or physical hazards that require a preventive control

The five chapters of the draft guidance that FDA released this week include the following

The Food Safety Plan The guidance provided is intended to help companies understand what a food safety plan is and how it differs from a HACCP plan The PCHF requirements specify that a facility must prepare or have pre-pared and implement a written food safety plan

Conducting a Hazard Analysis The guidance provided is intended to help conduct a hazard analysis in accordance with the PCHF The hazard analysis must be writ-ten regardless of the results of the analysis and must include two ele-ments a hazard identification and a hazard analysis

Potential Hazards Associated with the Manufacturing Pro-cessing Packing and Holding of Human Food The guidance is intended to help consider the biological chemical and physical hazards that are commonly of con-cern in food plants and that should be addressed in a hazard analysis It addresses ingredient-related haz-ards process-related hazards and hazards that may be introduced from the food-production environ-ment (facility-related hazards)

Preventive Controls The guid-ance in this chapter is intended to help companies identify and implement preventive controls

The PCHF requirements specify that companies must identify and implement preventive controls to provide assurances that any haz-ards requiring a preventive control will be significantly minimized or prevented and the food manufac-tured processed packed or held by a food facility will not be adul-terated or misbranded

This chapter provides an over-view of common preventive con-trols that companies could use to significantly minimize or prevent the occurrence of biological chem-ical and physical hazards in food products and the food production environment when the outcome of a hazard analysis is that one or

more of these hazards requires a preventive control

Application of Preventive Controls and Preventive Con-trol Management Components The guidance in this chapter is intended to help companies iden-tify and implement preventive controls and associated preventive control management components as part of their food safety plan

This chapter provides an over-view of the application of pre-ventive controls to significantly minimize or prevent the occur-rence of biological chemical and physical hazards in finished foods and the food production environ-ment The chapter also provides an overview of preventive control management components (ie monitoring corrective actions and corrections and verification

activities and their associated records)

Although companies can com-ment on this guidance at any time to ensure that FDA considers com-ments before it issues the final ver-sion of the guidance comments should be submitted by February 21 2017 Electronic comments can be submitted at wwwregula-tionsgov the docket number is FDA-2016-D-2343

FDA plans to release additional chapters of the draft guidance when those chapters are com-pleted Those chapters will cover among other things use of heat treatment as a process control use of timetemperature control as a process control use of formulation as a process control sanitation controls allergen controls and recall plans

Californiarsquos Driftwood Dairy Acquired By Vietnamrsquos VinamilkNewport Beach CAmdashMarwit Capital Partners II LP a pri-vate investment firm recently announced that it has completed the sale of its portfolio company Driftwood Dairy Inc to Viet-nam Dairy Products Corp (ldquoVina-milkrdquo)

Founded in 1920 Driftwood Dairy is one of the largest pro-cessors of fresh milk and related products in California The com-pany serves diverse markets in the retail and ingredient sectors but has been most known according to Marwit Capital Partners as the largest supplier of fresh milk and juice to K-12 school districts in Southern California for many years

Driftwood Dairy today distrib-utes a full line of dairy and related products including numerous cheese varieties milk and cream cottage cheese sour cream yogurt and ice cream and novelties Drift-wood Dairy recently modernized its plant and laboratory

Based in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam and founded in 1976 Vinamilk is the largest publicly held company in Vietnam and one of the largest dairy compa-nies in Asia Marwit Capital Part-ners stated Last year Vinamilk reported total revenues of $18 bil-lion

Marwit capital Partners acquired Driftwood Dairy in 2006 with sev-eral second and third generation members of the founding Dolan family remaining in key manage-ment positions Under the leader-ship of CEO partner Mac Berry who joined the company shortly after the acquisition the business was able to grow volumes and reve-nues by almost 50 percent over the investment period and build an attractive platform for Vinamilkrsquos global expansion

ldquoThis was truly one of the most intriguing transactions that I have had the pleasure of being involved with in more than 20 years in pri-vate equity and I believe one of the most significant transactions to date involving the acquisition of a US business by a leading company based in Vietnamrdquo commented Chris L Britt Marwit managing partner

ldquoVinamilk is a really fabulous company with world-class man-agement and plans to be a $3 bil-lion business within a few years We could not have found a better partner for the next 100 years of Driftwood Dairyrdquo Britt added

ldquoWe didnrsquot expect that we would find the next owner of Driftwood Dairy almost 8000 miles away but I am sure we found the right one and the future is bright for both companiesrdquo said David Browne Marwit partner

US Dairy Import License Fee To Remain At $250 For 2017 USDAWashingtonmdashUSDArsquos Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) in a notice published in Wednesdayrsquos Federal Register announced a fee of $250 to be charged for the 2017 tariff-rate quota (TRQ) year for each license issued to a person or firm by USDA authorizing the importation of certain dairy arti-cles which are subject to TRQs set forth in the Harmonized Tar-iff Schedule (HTS) of the United States

That $250 dairy import license fee for 2017 is unchanged from both the 2016 and the 2015 license fee

The Dairy Tariff-Rate Import Quota Licensing Regulation pro-mulgated by USDA provides for the issuance of licenses to import certain dairy articles that are sub-ject to TRQs set forth in the HTS

Those dairy articles may only be entered into the US at the in-quota TRQ tariff rates by or for the account of a person or firm to whom such licenses have been issued and only in accordance with the terms and conditions of the regulation

Licenses are issued on a calendar year basis and each license autho-rizes the license holder to import a specified quantity and type of dairy article from a specified country of origin

The use of such licenses is moni-tored by the Dairy Import Licens-ing Program Import Policies and Export Reporting Division For-eign Agricultural Service USDA and US Customs and Border Pro-tection US Department of Home-land Security

The regulation provides that a fee will be charged for each license issued to a person or firm by the licensing authority in order to defray USDArsquos costs of adminis-

tering the licensing system under this regulation

The total cost to USDA of administering the licensing sys-tem for 2017 has been estimated to be $62430000 and the esti-mated number of licenses expected to be issued is 2500 Of the total cost $479200 represents staff and supervisory costs directly related to administering the licensing system and $145100 represents other mis-cellaneous costs including travel postage publications forms and ADP system support

Accordingly USDA is giving notice that the fee for each license issued to a person or firm for the 2017 calendar year will be $25000 per license

RECOGNITION

USDA To Buy(Continued from p 1)

nizations that will distribute the cheese purchased by USDArdquo said Jim Mulhern NMPFrsquos president and CEO ldquoWe will continue to assess the economic situation fac-ing dairy farmers and suggest ways to help farmers endure this lengthy period of low pricesrdquo

ldquoThe USDArsquos action will help alleviate the tough realities of the market and keep family farmers in business at a time when too many are leavingrdquo said Zippy Duvall president AFBF ldquoWe greatly appreciate USDArsquos taking this action to help our beleaguered dairy producersrdquo

ldquoNFU appreciates USDArsquos continued commitment to dairy producers especially within a very tight budgetrdquo commented Roger Johnson NFUrsquos presi-dent ldquoThe current environment however has left dairy farmers struggling with severe economic strain and it requires a more robust responserdquo

Market challenges including ldquoa glut of domestic and international milk will require time to shrink inventories due to a tepid global demandrdquo Johnson continued ldquoIn the meantime producers need meaningful assistance NFU hopes USDA will continue to assist dairy producers as funding allowsrdquo

ldquoWhile I appreciate USDArsquos quick response to our urgent request for assistance for our dairy farmers it is clear that this modest first step does not go far enough to make a substantial dif-ference on the groundrdquo said US Rep Joe Courtney (D-CT) one of the members of Congress who had asked Vilsack last month to take action to aid dairy producers

ldquoThrough this cheese purchase both farmers and those utilizing USDA nutrition programs will get some reliefrdquo said US Rep Collin Peterson (D-MN) the top Dem-ocrat on the House Agriculture Committee who also signed last monthrsquos letter to Vilsack

MPP Sign-Up Deadline ExtendedUSDA this week also announced that it will extend the deadline for dairy producers to enroll in the Margin Protection Program for Dairy (MPP-Dairy) to December 16 2016 from the previous dead-line of September 30

MPP-Dairy which was estab-lished under the 2014 farm bill offers dairy producers catastrophic coverage at no cost to the pro-ducer other than an annual $100 administrative fee and various lev-els of buy-up coverage

Catastrophic coverage provides payments to participating produc-ers when the national dairy pro-duction margin is less than $400 per hundredweight

The national dairy production margin is the difference between the all-milk price and average feed costs

Producers may purchase buy-up coverage that provides payments when margins are between $400 and $800 per hundredweight To participate in buy-up coverage a producer must pay a premium that varies with the level of protection the producer elects

NMPF also appreciates USDA extending the sign-up deadline for enrollment decisions in MPP-Dairy Mulhern said

ldquoGiving farmers until Decem-ber 16 to adjust their coverage levels for calendar year 2017 will help increase the opportunity for dairy farmers to utilize this crucial risk management toolrdquo Mulhern

remarked ldquoWe will continue to work with USDA and Congress to find ways to further improve the Margin Protection Program for dairy farmersrdquo

Peterson also welcomed USDArsquos announcement about extending the MPP-Dairy enrollment dead-line Last month Peterson and two other congressional agricul-ture committee leaders had asked Vilsack to extend the deadline to December 31 2016 (for more details please see ldquoCongressional Ag Panel Leaders Want Margin Insur-ance Program Sign-Up Deadline Extended To Dec 31rdquo on page 12 of our July 29th issue by scanning the QR Code on page 2 of this issue)

ldquoMPP is an improvement over the past dairy safety net but as we look ahead to the next farm bill I will be working closely with my colleagues and dairy farmers across the country to improve upon the programrdquo Peterson said

Earlier this month Vilsack annouunced approximately $112 million in financial assistance to US dairy farmers enrolled in the 2016 Margin Protection Program-Dairy

The payment rate for MayJune 2016 will be the largest since the MPP-Dairy program started two years ago

Dairy producers who enrolled at the $600 through $800 margin trigger coverage level will receive payments

ldquoBy supporting a strong farm safety net expanding credit options and growing domestic and foreign markets USDA is committed to helping Americarsquos dairy operations remain successfulrdquo Vilsack com-mented

USDA will continue to moni-tor dairy market conditions in the coming months and evaluate addi-tional actions if necessary later this fall

Cherney Microbiological Services MOCON Team Up To Help Food Firms Identify Spoilage CausesMinneapolis MNmdashCherney Microbiological Services Ltd is teaming up with MOCON Inc to help food companies determine exactly why they are having prod-uct spoilage issues

ldquoThe best way to rapidly iden-tify the cause of shelf life issues is to fuse the latest in measurement capability with rich analytical expertiserdquo said Debra Cherney founder and chief executive offi-cer Cherney Microbiological Ser-vices

MOCONrsquos GreenLight instru-ments rapidly screen for the presence and number of aerobic microbes The system is ideal for quality assurance for food and pharmaceutical product testing the company said

The system uses an oxygen sensor for measuring total viable count (TVC) and some ldquoindica-torrdquo organisms

Typical results are obtained in one to 15 hours compared to the 48 to 72 hour testing period required by traditional plate count methods MOCON said

ldquoStandard microbial screening methods will tell you what is hap-pening but not why and when itrsquos happening or how it affects shelf-liferdquo said Alan Traylor business manager microbial detection MOCON

MOCON is a provider of detec-tors instruments systems and consulting services to production facilities research laboratories and quality control and safety depart-ments in the food and beverage packaging medical pharmaceu-tical environmental and other industries worldwide

Emmi Acquires Remaining Shares Of Mittelland MolkereiLucerne SwitzerlandmdashEmmi which already had a 60 percent stake in Mittelland Molkerei AG is acquiring a 40 percent share package from AZM Verwaltungs AG the investment firm of the Mittelland Milk Producersrsquo Coop-erative (MPM)

In doing so Emmi will acquire 100 percent of the company it was reported

Mittelland Molkerei is based in Suhr Switzerland and was founded in 2005 from which time it was 60 percent owned by Emmi and 40 percent owned by the AZM Verwaltungs AG (formerly the Aargauer Milchverband)

At the Suhr site Emmi pro-cesses milk into butter cream and

fluid milk (pasteurized and UHT) It has been continuously modern-ized over the past 10 years

In Suhr Emmi generates sales of about CHF 500 million (US$507 million) and employs around 350 people

The complete takeover does not affect plant management or the employees of Mittelland Molkerei the company said

The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price In addition to a cash component part of the acquisition price amount-ing to CHF 34 million was settled with the transfer of a number of registered shares in Emmi AG which will come from the stake of the majority shareholder in Emmi the Central Switzerland Milk Producers Cooperative (ZMP) The Mittelland Milk Producersrsquo Cooperative therefore participates directly in Emmi AG

USDA Beginning Farmer Grants Include Projects To Boost Number Of Organic Dairy FarmsAmes IAmdashUS Secretary of Agri-culture Tom Vilsack last week announced a new investment of $178 million for 37 projects to help educate mentor and enhance the sustainability of the next gen-eration of farmers

Vilsack made the announce-ment in a meeting with new and beginning farmers at Iowa State University USDArsquos investment is made through its Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program (BFRDP)

With the average age of a US farmer exceeding 58 years USDA sees a need to bring more people into agriculture Over the seven-plus years of the Obama admin-istration USDA has engaged its resources to provide greater sup-port to the farmers of the future by improving access to land and capi-tal building new markets and mar-ket opportunities extending new conservation opportunities offer-ing appropriate risk management tools and increasing outreach education and technical support

BFRDP administered through USDArsquos National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) has been a key part of this effort and supports educational programs to assist beginning farmers and ranch-ers who have less than 10 years of experience in the industry The program supports workshops edu-cational teams training and tech assistance throughout the US

This yearrsquos awards will be made in 27 states and the District of Columbia to fund a range of proj-ects by organizations including the National Farmers Organization

(NFO) which will use $588948 in funding to assist 900 beginning organic dairy and grain producers over the next three years

Goals for NFOrsquos project include among others to create 36 new farms in an 11-state area over the next 36 months increase the total number of organic dairy and feed producers in the area by 60 over the next 36 months reach 900 beginning organic dairy and feed grain producers during the 36-month period and mentor 120 beginning organic dairy and feed grain producers during the 36-month period

Wolfersquos Neck Farm Foundation Freeport ME will use $573256 in funding for a Dairy Farmer Apprenticeship Program (DFAP) the long-term goal of which is to increase organic milk production in the Northeast while fostering the next generation of organic dairy farms and improving their profitability and sustainability

To achieve this goal Wolfersquos Neck Farm (WNF) is expand-ing and scaling its Dairy Farmer Apprenticeship Program Begin-ning farmers live and work on WNFrsquos educational farm for a two-year apprenticeship in which they gain experiential employment and mentoring as well as formal classroom instruction and business mentoring The DFAP will cre-ate an infrastructure for learning innovation and training to help grow the dairy industry and iden-tify a successful path to sustainable dairy farming in New England

ldquoWe see new and beginning farmers and ranchers as a critical force in sustaining food security food safety and many other aspects of agriculture that will become even more challenging as our global population growsrdquo Vilsack said

PMO Facilities(Continued from p 1

ldquoPMO Facilitiesrdquo The agency agreed that it should make use of the existing system of state regula-tory oversight for Grade A milk and milk products provided through the National Conference on Inter-state Milk Shipments (NCIMS) and the food safety requirements of the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance

FDA described its reasons for deciding to extend the compli-ance for PMO-regulated facilities to comply with the human food preventive controls requirements to September 17 2018 Those rea-sons related to the current provi-sions of the PMO the work already begun by NCIMS to modify the PMO to include all of the human food preventive controls require-ments established in part 117 and complex implementation issues concerning the interstate move-ment of milk and milk products and imported milk

In the Federal Register of Novem-ber 18 2015 FDA clarified that the extended compliance date of September 17 2018 for PMO facilities applies only to Grade A milk and milk products covered by NCIMS under the PMO and not to the manufacturing processing packing or holding of other food produced in such facilities In that November 2015 clarification the agency did not discuss the date for PMO facilities to be in compliance with the CGMP requirements

FDA has not established com-pliance dates for the modernized CGMPs that are different from the general compliance dates for the preventive controls requirements in part 117 with one exception related to PMO facilities Specifi-cally the agency provided that the extension of the compliance date for PMO facilities until September 17 2018 applied only to ldquosubparts C and Grdquo (the principal provisions of the human preventive controls requirements)

In the final rule published this week FDA is extending the date for compliance with the modern-ized CGMPs by PMO facilities until September 17 2018 The agency said it will continue to work with the NCIMS to modify the PMO to reflect the modern-ized CGMPs and the preventive control requirements

This extension will create a sin-gle compliance date for the Grade A milk and milk products covered by the PMO FDA noted that this extension applies only to Grade A milk and milk products covered by NCIMS under the PMO and not to the manufacturing processing packing or holding of other food produced in such facilities

Customer Assurance ProvisionsFDA is also extending the compli-ance dates for certain provisions

concerning customer assurances when controls are applied down-stream in the distribution chain

These provisions apply when a manufacturerprocessor identifies a hazard requiring a preventive con-trol (ldquoidentified hazardrdquo) does not control the identified hazard and relies on an entity in its distribu-tion chain to address the hazard FDA explained

A manufacturerprocessor that complies with the customer provi-sions is not required to implement a preventive control for the identi-fied hazard

In the final rule published this week FDA is extending the com-pliance date by two years for the written assurance requirement in the customer provisions in part 117

With the extension facilities that are small businesses must comply by September 18 2019 and other facilities subject to the requirements must comply by Sep-tember 19 2018

FDA is also extending the compliance date under the FSVP regulation for complying with the written assurance requirements by two years beyond the dates estab-lished in the final rule

As a result of this extension the earliest that an importer would be required to comply with the writ-ten assurance requirements in the customer provisions would be May 28 2019

Food Contact Substance ImportsAlso in this final rule FDA is extending the compliance dates for the FSVP regulation for impor-tation of food contact substances Since it published the final rule establishing the FSVP regula-tion FDArsquos Technical Assistance Network has received inquiries regarding the applicability of the FSVP regulation to food contact substances

Also two months ago FDA met with representatives of the food packaging manufacturing industry at their request to listen to con-cerns regarding the applicability of the FSVP regulation to the impor-tation of food contact substances The industry representatives stated that the supply chain associated with imported subtances used to manufacture food contact sub-stances is highly complex and very different from other foods subject to the FSVP regulations

After considering the informa-tion presented by the industry representatives FDA believes that compliance with the requirement to conduct verification activities under the FSVP regulation for food contact substances by May 30 2017 might not be feasible Accordingly FDA is extending the compliance date by two years so that it can consider how best to address the feasibility concernsThe new compliance date is May 28 2019


US Food Industry Making lsquoModestrsquo Progress In Reducing Salt In Its Products NSRI StudySodium Content Falls In Five Cheese Categories But Rises In Salted ButterWashingtonmdashOverall progress toward meeting the National Salt Reduction Initiativersquos (NSRI) tar-gets by 2014 was ldquomodestrdquo accord-ing to a new study published in the American Journal of Public Health

The NSRI a national coali-tion led by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene was the first US effort to engage industry in lowering population sodium intake through targeted food supply sodium reduc-tions the study noted More than three-quarters of dietary sodium comes from packaged and restau-rant foods making it difficult for individuals to lower intake

The NSRI which was initiated in 2009 is a coalition of more than 100 national health organizations and state and local health authori-ties throughout the US The coali-tionrsquos goal is to reduce population sodium intake by 20 percent through a reduction in sodium in US packaged and restaurant foods by 25 percent by 2014

For the NSRI the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene cre-ated databases of top-selling foods to develop packaged and restau-rant food categories that are key sources of sodium in the market to set 2012 and 2014 sodium reduc-tion targets for each food category and to monitor changes in sodium content over time

In 2009 the NSRI categories and draft targets were published and disseminated with a final opportunity for industry review and comment When final targets were published companies were asked to meet 2012 and 2014 targets and were encouraged to publicly com-mit to signal their industry leader-ship

For this analysis researchers assessed US packaged food indus-try achievements toward meeting NSRI targets in 2012 and 2014 as well as the overall change in sodium density (amount of sodium by food weight) of packaged foods compared with the NSRIrsquos goal of a 25 percent reduction in 2014

The NSRI Packaged Food Data-base combines sales and nutrition information for products in the top 80 percent of sales of each food category Researchers created 62 packaged food categories of which one did not have sales data 2012 and 2014 sales-weighted targets were set for 61 categories

The dairy products and substi-tutes category included five pack-aged food categories grated hard cheese Cheddar Colby Jack Mozzarella Muenster Provolone and Swiss cheese Cream cheese Cottage cheese and Processed

cheese The fats and oils category included salted butter among its packaged food categories

For this study researchers included products in the 61 cat-egories grouped into 15 metacat-egories with sales sodium content and serving size data Research-ers had four measures of interest the percentage of food categories meeting 2012 and 2014 NSRI tar-gets the percentage of products meeting 2012 and 2014 NSRI targets food category- and meta-category-specific changes in sales-weighted mean (SWM) sodium densities and overall change in SWM sodium densitySodium Reduction ProgressIn 2009 when the targets were established no categories met NSRI 2012 or 2014 targets In 2014 16 (26 percent) categories met 2012 targets and two (3 per-cent) met 2014 targets

The percentage of products meeting NSRI targets increased from 2009 to 2014 In 2009 one-third of packaged food products met 2012 NSRI targets for their category The percentage of prod-ucts meeting 2012 NSRI targets rose significantly from 2009 to 2012 and again from 2012 to 2014 42 percent met in 2012 and 45 per-cent met in 2014

Significant increases in the percentage of products meeting 2012 NSRI targets across most metacategories (including both the dairy products and substitutes metacategory and the fats and oils metacategory) and there were no significant decreases

Within the dairy products cate-gory sodium content changes from 2009 to 2014 were as follows

Grated Hard Cheese 1530 milligrams of sodium per 100 grams of product in 2009 1285 milligrams in 2014 for a decline of 2444 milligrams or 16 percent

Cheddar Colby Jack etc 668 milligrams of sodium per 100 grams of product in 2009 633 milligrams in 2014 for a decline of 353 mil-ligrams or 53 percent

Cream cheese 408 milligrams of sodium per 100 grams of product in 2009 391 milligrams in 2014 for a decline of 161 milligrams or 39 percent

Cottage cheese 347 milligrams of sodium per 100 grams of product in 2009 336 milligrams in 2014 for a decline of 108 milligrams or 31 percent

Processed cheese 1393 milli-grams of sodium per 100 grams of product in 2009 1251 milligrams in 2014 for a decline of 1423 mil-ligrams or 102 percent

Salted butter had an average of 608 milligrams of sodium per 100 grams of product in 2009 and 643 milligrams in 2014 for an increase of 344 milligrams or 57 percent

SWM sodium density declined significantly in 26 categories from 2009 and 2014 and also in the dairy products and substitutes metacategory whereas no catego-ries increased significantly in SWM sodium density SWM density declined from 2009 to 2014 and mean sodium density unweighted by sales declined significantly

FDA Urged To Finalize TargetsThe study ldquoshows the potential for real progress in Americansrsquo healthrdquo if the FDA ldquoquickly finalizes its recently released voluntary targets for reducing sodium in all foodsrdquo said Jim OrsquoHara health promo-tion policy director at the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI)

ldquoThe NSRI was the first national effort at salt reduction and it shows what can be accomplishedrdquo OrsquoHara said ldquoBut the FDA has the potential to achieve even greater cuts in sodium and greater protec-tion for the public healthrdquo

ldquoWhile we applaud all progress made thus far to decrease salt in our daily diets this study demon-strates that we still have work to dordquo said Nancy Brown CEO of the American Heart Association (AHA)

ldquothe FDA has the potential to achieve even greater cuts in sodium and greater protection for the

public healthrdquo

Jim OrsquoHaraCSPI

ldquoItrsquos critical to give consum-ers more control over how much sodium they eat and fortunately there is a plan in place to make this possiblerdquo Brown continued ldquoThe FDArsquos voluntary sodium tar-gets give the food industry a goal to work toward and we encour-age the FDA to continue dialogue with industry and finalize goals promptly to support the health of all Americans

Last week the Food and Drug Administration announced that it is extending the two comment periods for the draft sodium reduc-tion guidance it released earlier this year (for more details please see ldquo FDA Extends Two Comment Peri-ods On Draft Industry Guidance On Voluntary Sodium Cutsrdquo on page 3 of our Aug 19th issue by scanning the QR Code on page 2 of this issue)

NATIONAL - AUG 19 Producers in some areas of the western region report more plentiful supplies than the rest of the nation The pull for fluid milk into Class I is strong in the East and picking up in the Midwest leaving less milk for cheese production Mozzarella and Provolone orders are strong in the East Domestic demand is strong and industry contacts anticipate that demand will continue to climb Inventories vary depending on the variety of cheese Overall stocks for young and fresh cheeses are tight while Cheddar stocks are mostly long Market participants in the East report balanced inventories Western manufacturers are able to rotate cheese stocks held in warehouses

NORTHEAST- AUG 24 The market is tight around this time of year with fluid milk tight-ening and supplies down Some cheese plants are operating as best they can with the given milk levels While students return to school it has been difficult to fill cheese orders that have been coming in Suppliers have been routing milk to areas of the nation with low supplies like the Southeast moving more to fluid and less to cheese vats Wholesale prices delivered dollars perlbCheddar 40-lb blocks $22225 - $25075 Process 5-lb sliced $20650 - $25450Muenster $22075 - $25575 Swiss Cuts 10-14 lbs $28650 - $31875

MIDWEST AREA - AUG 24 Midwest cheese makers are filling vats and running schedules as full as possible After several weeks of decreases in milk intakes some manu-facturers feel the fall in production has begun to level off A few industry contacts report being short on milk but are able to find spot loads when needed Demand is mixed Some market participants feel sales slowed some this week following several weeks of active orders out-side of contracts Other manufacturers feel demand continues to grow ahead of the holiday season Several manufacturers report high volumes of calls from buyers looking for cheese However only some manufacturers can meet their needs Inventories vary and widely depend on the variety of cheese Cheddar and American cheese inventories are mostly long Some manufacturers are blending cheese with some age on it with fresher cheese in an effort to manage aged cheese stocks International inquiries remain light

WEST - AUG 24 Industry contacts say Western cheese makers are trying to keep their production schedules full Although milk is generally available within the immediate area a few processors have had to reach a little further to get extra spot loads of milk needed to round out production Some manufacturers note domestic retail and food service demand has eased back a little for American style cheeses but Mozzarella demand is picking up Cheese marketers continue to report US cheese is facing strong competition in international markets mostly based on pricing differences Industry inventories remain long for many varieties of cheese Some contacts suggest cheese market prices need to be reset lower in order for significant volumes of cheese to clear

FOREIGN -TYPE CHEESE - AUG 24 The tight supply situation for cheese in the EU is not expected to significantly ease in the near term Recent reports show that June 2016 milk production fell below June 2015 levels Cheese manufacturers do not expect that increased milk supplies will become available for making cheese in the near term This will keep supplies tight and put upward pressure on prices

NATIONAL - AUG 19 Across the US butter production has slowed Most manu-facturers notice a reduction in available milk supply slowing production schedules for some processors Lower cream availabil-ity has pushed many butter makers to slow down butter churning rates creating a tight market for near term butter needs However some processors are still able to meet short term demands and current orders by finding spot loads of creams Butter demand and inventories are similar to last week Some suppliers are expecting a turnaround in sup-ply as the expectation of increasing avail-ability follows in the coming weeks

NORTHEAST - AUG 24 The North-east milk supply has decreased in the recent weeks in part because of seasonal factors and educational institutions As stu-dents head back to school an increasing amount of fluid milk has been going towards their demand and away from the produc-tion of other dairy products In response the Northeastern butter market has seen sig-nificant reduction in butter churning rates However suppliers are capable of producing butter and keeping up with the contractual demands In response to increased fluid milk sales and low cream availability butter has been tight in the market with cream multiples fluctuating in the mid-130s to the low 140 range US butter in storage on July 31 2016 totaled 333123 million pounds 31 above a year ago and 2 more than last month

CENTRAL - AUG 24 Butter pro-duction is active this week in the Central region Industry contacts feel spot loads of cream are still available but less obtainable than in recent weeks A few manufacturers who were previously selling loads of cream are now holding on and processing all con-tracted cream loads in order to keep churns full Other manufacturers are slowing the churns slightly Demand is strong Market participants report growing demand from food service and retail outlets Some con-tacts speculate some of the recent spark in demand can be attributed to schools going back into session Many manufacturers feel comfortable entering the busy season with current inventory levels Some manufactur-ers are microfixing for upcoming orders

WEST - AUG 24 Western butter makers are looking at anticipated Q4 butter needs to guide production Many processors are mak-ing more print than bulk butter as they try to prepare for fall baking needs Domestic print butter demand remains solid Cream availability is mixed with some areas being tight and other areas having cream readily available A few processors continue to sell cream off as opposed to making butter US butter inventories are large but industry con-tacts question how much of the stockpile is bulk or print butter and how much is commit-ted versus not committed to buyers The US average advertised price of 1-pound butter is $341 up $18 from last week The US price is up $43 from $298 one year ago

NDM - CENTRAL Low medium heat nonfat dry milk prices are mixed this week The range price series moved higher on the low end of the range while the top end of the range came down two cents The mostly price series moved higher on both ends to capture where the majority of spot sale activity is occurring Market participants report growth in buyer interest this week In several instances contacts report calls from buyers looking to secure contracts through the end of 2016 Some cheese manufacturers are reportedly inter-ested in making lowmedium heat NDM purchases in the short term to aid with seasonally decreasing yields International interest remains active and export sales are strong Inventories are mostly long in the Central region However as milk production declines milk is being diverted away from dryers This in return is help-ing manufacturers manage long lowmedium heat NDM inventories

NDM - EAST Domestic trading activ-ity has been moderate throughout the week According to industry participants the current market undertone is unset-

Dairy Exports Will Rise By $300 Million In Fiscal 2017 Imports Will Fall By $100 Million USDAWashingtonmdashThe US Depart-ment of Agriculture (USDA) in its quarterly ldquoOutlook for US Agricultural Traderdquo report released Thursday increased its fiscal 2017 dairy export forecast while reduc-ing its fiscal 2016 dairy import forecast

For fiscal 2016 which ends Sep-tember 30 2016 USDA reduced its dairy export forecast by $200 million to $45 billion as US cheese nonfat dry milk and whey face strong competition and prices remain low

During the first nine months of fiscal 2016 (October of 2015 through June of 2016) US dairy exports were valued at $3403 bil-lion down 218 percent or $948 million from the first nine months of fiscal 2015 For all of fiscal 2015 US dairy exports had totaled $5557 billion

USDA is forecasting that fiscal 2017 dairy exports will increase $300 million from fiscal 2016 to $48 billion on moderate recovery in global dairy markets and tighter competitor supplies

On the import side USDA reduced its fiscal 2016 import fore-cast by $100 million to $34 bil-lion During the first nine months of fiscal 2016 US dairy imports were valued at $2571 billion down 34 percent or $91 million from the first nine months of fis-cal 2015 Fiscal 2015 dairy imports had totaled $3491 billion

USDA expects fiscal 2017 dairy imports to decline by $100 mill-lion to $33 billion As world dairy markets improve in 2017 they will reduce the price differential between the US domestic market and international markets which will dampen imports

Cheese imports are projected to total $14 billion in fiscal 2016 unchanged from the May forecast During the first nine months of fis-cal 2016 cheese imports totaled $985 million up $1 million from the first nine months of fiscal 2015

USDA is forecasting that cheese imports in fiscal 2017 will also total $14 billion

Overall fiscal 2017 US agri-cultural exports are projected at $1330 billion up $60 billion from the revised fiscal 2016 forecast of $1270 billion That revised export forecast of $127 billion represents an increase of $25 billion from May

Michigan Joins The Top Five Dairy States

EDITORIAL COMMENT

It doesnrsquot happen very often but itrsquos happening here in 2016 therersquos a new member of the top five milk-producing states

Specifically Michigan has at least temporarily and possibly for a long time moved into the num-ber five spot in US milk produc-tion mdash trailing only California Wisconsin Idaho and New York mdash bumping Pennsylvania into the number six spot

Michigan has been closing in on Pennsylvania for quite a while now The gap in milk production between the two states was 552 million pounds last year down from over 1 billion pounds in 2014 and almost 14 billion pounds in 2013

In June Michiganrsquos milk pro-duction topped Pennsylvaniarsquos output by 8 million pounds and that was also the gap between the two states in July With that small gap itrsquos likely that Pennsylvania will still end up ranking fifth in milk production for 2016 but Michigan appears poised to move solidly into the number five spot for the foreseeable future

Trends thus far in 2016 help support that view During the first quarter Michiganrsquos milk output was up 83 percent from a year ear-lier while Pennsylvaniarsquos was up 14 percent Second-quarter pro-duction increases were 63 percent for Michigan and 05 percent for Pennsylvania

Further in July Michiganrsquos milk cow numbers were up 11000 head from a year earlier while Pennsylvaniarsquos cow numbers were unchanged And Michiganrsquos out-put per cow in July was up 40 pounds from July of 2015 while Pennsylvaniarsquos output per cow was up just five pounds As a result Michiganrsquos July production was up 45 percent from July of 2015 while Pennsylvaniarsquos was up just 03 percent

Michiganrsquos move into the top five dairy states and Pennsylva-niarsquos fall into the number six posi-tion got us wondering When was the last time the top five dairy

states didnrsquot include California Wisconsin New York Idaho and Pennsylvania

That would be in 2002 That year the top five dairy states were in order California Wisconsin New York Pennsylvania and Minnesota Idaho ranked sixth followed by New Mexico and then Michigan

In 2003 Idaho bumped Minne-sota out of the top five and since then the top five states have been unchanged There has been some shifting among the top five with Pennsylvania falling to fifth and Idaho and New York taking turns in third and fourth but the top five states have been unchanged since 2003

With this history in mind we thought it would be interesting to look back a bit further to see how the top five dairy states has evolved over the past half-century or so and where the current top five has ranked over the years (if they werenrsquot yet in the top five)

Back in 1960 the top five milk-producing states were in order Wisconsin Minnesota New York California and Pennsylvania Michigan actually ranked seventh that year while Idaho ranked 21st In addition to Michigan other states that ranked sixth through 10th back in 1960 were in order Iowa Ohio Illinois and Missouri Obviously there was a lot of milk being produced in the central part of the US back then (and now)

In 1970 the top five dairy states were in order Wisconsin New York Minnesota California and Pennsylvania Michigan continued to rank seventh while Idaho had dropped to 23rd

Ten years later the top five dairy states was still the same with one state making a big move Those five states were in order Wiscon-sin California New York Minne-sota and Pennsylvania Michigan ranked sixth in milk production in 1980 although the gap between Michigan and Pennsylvania was about 35 billion pounds Idaho moved up to 19th

In 1990 the top five dairy states were in order Wisconsin Cali-fornia New York Minnesota and Pennsylvania Michigan ranked seventh that year (Texas moved up to sixth) and Idaho had moved up to 12th

And then in 2000 the top five dairy states were in order Califor-nia Wisconsin New York Penn-sylvania and Minnesota Idaho had moved up to sixth while Michigan fell to eighth (Texas was seventh)

From all of this we can reach several conclusions the most obvi-ous being that the top five milk-producing states doesnrsquot change all that often Indeed the top five states in 2000 was the same as it was back in 1960 (although the top five in 1960 was different than in 1950 with Pennsylvania replac-ing Iowa) Thatrsquos why Idaho mov-ing into the top five back in 2003 was a big change and Michigan moving into the top five now is a big change

And this of course leads to the obvious question of what state will be next in joining the top five dairy states The answer isnrsquot any easier than trying to predict what the CME block Cheddar price will average next year

At the top of the list Califor-nia remains a solid number one although the gap between Califor-nia and Wisconsin has declined a bit it remained over 10 billion pounds last year And New York and Idaho look solid in the num-ber three and four positions (New York outproduced Pennsylvania by over 3 billion pounds last year)

Assuming Michiganrsquos milk pro-duction continues to grow the statersquos hold on the number five spot appears solid Texas had outpro-duced Michigan as recently as in 2014 and at this point is expand-ing its milking herd at almost the same pace as Michigan so at this point the only feasible change would be Texas passing Michigan

But Michigan ranked eighth back when Idaho moved into the top five states so maybe we should keep our eyes on Minnesota
