Peggy Coffeen, Uplevel Dairy

In this episode of the Uplevel, Peggy Coffeen is back for a monthly market update with Curtis Bosma from HighGround Dairy. This month they discuss the current state of dairy markets, including price volatility and the impacts of political headlines such as the bird flu on milk production in states like California versus expansion in others.

Curtis highlights butter and cheese markets’ dynamics, touching on trends in butterfat production and export opportunities for cheese due to price adjustments. The conversation also covers economic challenges like consumer credit card debt impacting consumer spending and food service traffic, and policy discussions surrounding the Farm Bill and programs such as cooperatives working together (CWT) and USDA purchasing assistance.

The episode dives into the importance of managing margins and choosing the right advisors for dairy producers while reflecting on market intelligence insights and the critical role of merchandisers in the supply chain.
