We Have a Cheese Problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With more cheese competing for buyers around the world, could the global market be headed for a price war? U.S. cheese plants are running full, whey protein demand is supporting production and exports have been strong. But at home, cheese demand remains soft. That puts more pressure on exports to keep product moving. In episode 106 of The Milk Check , host Ted Jacoby III sits down with the T.C. Jacoby & Co. cheese team to discuss what happens when growing U.S. production meets intensifying compe
Powder pops. WPC 80 slips. Dairy proteins defy gravity. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nonfat rallied nearly 30 cents in about 15 days. Can that rally can hold? WPC80 is showing its first real signs of softness in a while. Is it a seasonal slowdown or a sign?

Summer heat, warm nights, wildfire smoke and plant disruptions have pressured milk production and moved milk into unexpected places. Now, Class I bottlers are preparing for schools to reopen just as cheese plants, protein beverage manufacturers and other processors compete for the same milk solids. In this episode of The Milk Check , guest host Josh White and the Jacoby team break down what could make A
Who Wins the Next Decade of Milk Production? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The next decade of global dairy growth may look very different from the last one. For years, much of the world’s additional milk came from pasture-based systems. New Zealand added acres. Production expanded across parts of South America, Australia and Europe. But those regions are not growing the way they once did. Today, the next unit of milk is increasingly coming from grain-fed systems. That shift could put the U.S. in the driver’s seat for global dairy markets over the next 5 to 10 years. In
