MD_DA431 Butter - Central U.S. Report 49 - Released on December 02, 2020 Some butter producers report their prepared fall volumes are moving quickly. That said, some have reported government orders have receded, and they are focusing more on their retail customers. Food service remains slow, and butter contacts are still waiting for the full impact of restaurant closures/restrictions. Cream has been, and is, widely available at declining prices. Multiples are sliding, as has been expected, following the holiday. Butter producers are unconcerned about finding cream for the rest of the month/year. Butter market tones are improving day to day this week, but this fall has been anything but bullish for the typically stalwart butter market.
