Odd conditions reign over export, dairy, grain markets
Mark Stephenson, UW-Madison’s Director of Dairy Policy Analysis, noted that there are some “odd things” happening in the dairy, grain and export markets. Components from U.S. dairy farms, including butterfat, are high and climbing. “That’s not just because we have more colored cows. Farmers have gained an understanding of how to get more of those components from the cows they have.”
