Dairy producers like insurance programs during volatile markets

Prices paid for milk and dairy products remain volatile.  Katie Burgess with ever.ag says the dairy markets have been a wild ride this summer. “We saw really low milk prices in June and July, so for dairy producers out there, that probably means the worst milk checks here in the upper midwest are yet to come.”

Burgess says the good news is cheese prices rallied back from around $1.35 a month ago to the $1.90’s for blocks, but she does not expect the price to stay that high.
