A good indicator of dairy consumption is the production of mozzarella cheese. Mozzarella is not aged. Mozzarella is not made on speculation. The orders must be there for mozzarella to be made.
Take a look at mozzarella production for August 2000 - 09. As a matter of fact, more mozzarella was made in August 2009 than in any other August on record.
Which leaves the obvious question, why is mozzarella not part of the pricing formula? After all it is the single most consumed variety of cheese in the US.DWCovert
