is the latest dairy products report through November 2010.

Cumulatively, there has been 3.3% more cheese produced. But, whey, which is a by product of cheese making and should rise and fall proportionately with cheese, is only up 1.4%.


There is something rotten in the state of Denmark, as Shakespeare noted.

Butter Production Off

Today, USDA's "Dairy Products" was released. Butterfat test are still low and the butter production in May was minus 5.6% compared with May 2009. Butter production was even down from April 2010 - 1.3%.

The odd thing is where is all the butterfat coming from to increase cheese production? Something sneaky going on.
