Despite political uncertainty, dairy producers across the Midwest are feeling positive and optimistic as we begin 2025, largely due to higher milk prices, improved profitability and a strong beef market.
“The financial situation is probably the best it has been in a number of years,” says Charles Krause of Krause Holsteins Inc., Buffalo, Minnesota. “Coming off strong second-half prices in 2024, along with relatively strong margins, has given dairy farmers the ability to reinvest in their operations. Strong butterfat and protein demand have also elevated pay prices.”
Dairy producers in Michigan are also enjoying the higher pay prices.
