In this episode of Parlor to Plate, from Ever.Ag Insights, the team takes stock of late-September market dynamics across cheese, butter, grains, and feed. Milk production is surging, with the national herd at its largest since 1993 and July output in California revised sharply higher, keeping pressure on milk futures into 2026. Butter has slipped to its lowest levels since 2021, as strong milk components and ample cream supplies weigh on prices despite solid exports. Internationally, Europe’s milk output is running hot, resulting in lower cheese and powder prices that challenge U.S. export competitiveness. In the fields, harvest is underway with mixed results—corn and soybeans are showing decent but inconsistent yields, keeping prices rangebound yet still supportive of relatively low feed costs for the year ahead.

Join host Katie Burgess and panelists Tiffany LaMendola, Jon Spainhour, and Britt O’Connell for a lively discussion.
