Butter, Cheese, Milk Markets Strong And Climbing - a podcast by MID-WEST FARM REPORT - MADISON

Consumer trends continue to change over time.  Younger generations tend to be "putting their money where their mouth is" and focusing on the values behind the food produced and the companies selling, rather than just the value of the product.  Charlie Arnot is part of the Center for Food Integrity and was a speaker at the recent Dairy Insight Summit with PDPW.  He shares what trends have been looking like and makes some predictions as to where things are headed.

UW-River Falls is offering a new undergraduate Bachelor of Science program in international food operations management.  This is being conducted in conjunction with the Aeres University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands.  Students will have the chance to learn about food management and science in both the US and the Netherlands and will earn degrees from both universities after completion of the program.  Brenda Boetel, professor and department chair of Agricultural Economics at UWRF joins us to share more.Bob Bosold catches up with Stewart Anhalt, Energy Sales Manager with ALCIVIA Cooperative.  They discuss the overall outlook for energy supplies and markets going forward.  Planning ahead and locking in contracts for energy purchases can help consumers to save money.

Cheese and butter markets are seemingly strong lately and climbing, but why is that?  Matt Tranel, broker with EverAg joins us to discuss that and other topics.  Production struggles and other market movers look to be pushing class III and IV milk higher, at an unusual time of year.  This also is causing a slow down in cow slaughter here in the midwest, where feed is plentiful.  After chatting dairy, we also take a look at the recent strength in the corn markets, as well as soybean meal prices.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
