As a dairy industry insider, he’s experienced the frustration caused by structural changes in the industry where once-reliable rules of thumb suddenly no longer apply, and has seen firsthand the vulnerability caused by having last week’s information.

Methodology
Analysis starts with a careful review of data published by USDA. Raw data comes from the following sources.
- Milk ProductionMilk Production - This monthly report from USDA is released mid-month and includes prior month data and any revisions in the second prior month estimates of milk production, cow numbers and milk per cow.
- Annual revisons for the previous two years of data are included in each February issue.
- Livestock, Dairy & Poultry Outlook - Each monthly issue of USDA's Livestock, Dairy & Poultry Outlook includes quarterly milk production estimates, supply and demand estimates and price estimates. Our long-range forecast is released about one week prior to the USDA forecast.
- Livestock Slaughter/Monthly Estimates - Each month, USDA reports the number of dairy cows slaughtered at federally-inspected plants. These estimates, for the previous month, are released early in the second half of each month.
- Livestock Slaughter/Weekly Estimates - Published each Thursday, these estimates foreshadow the monthly data and offer regional detail.
- World Agricultural Supply & Demand Estimates - USDA publishes milk production, utilization and price estimates each month on or about the 10th.
- Agricultural Prices - Agricultural Prices, issued monthly on or about the last day of the month, contains the milk-feed ratio, all milk price, slaughter cow prices and other data relevant to milk production.
