    Milk Costs Most Ever to Signal Higher Prices for Pizza

    Milk futures rose to a record as exports by the U.S. climbed amid shrinking inventories of cheese and butter, signaling higher costs for pizza and pastries.

    The U.S. shipped a record 17 percent of milk production in the first half, according to Alan Levitt, a spokesman at the U.S. Dairy Export Council. Cheese stockpiles in July dropped 8 percent from a year earlier, and butter supplies tumbled 42 percent, the Department of Agriculture said last month. U.S. dairy costs are higher than world prices, signaling imports will increase, said Jon Spainhour, a partner at Rice Dairy LLC.

    “Usually, we use the first six months of the year to build the inventory we’re going to sell in the last six months,” Spainhour said in a telephone interview from Chicago. “People are saying that ‘I know those imports are coming in, but in the meantime, I’ve got to make sure I’ve got enough to get on the supermarket shelf.’ ”

    Milk futures for September settlement rose 0.7 percent to close at $24.45 per 100 pounds at 1:11 p.m. on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Earlier, the class III variety, used as a cheese benchmark, reached a record $24.47. The price has jumped 26 percent this year.

    Dairy consumption increases in the North American autumn as U.S. football fans boost pizza orders [don't forget the college kids] and bakers need more butter for holiday cakes and pastries, Spainhour said.

    U.S. cheese consumption will rise to a record 4.88 million metric tons in 2014, USDA data shows. Milk use will climb to an all-time high of 93.4 million tons.

    “We just didn’t build the stocks we needed to, and domestic cheese buyers are still scrambling to build that inventory,” Spainhour said.

    In July, retail whole milk was $3.65 a gallon, the most for the month since 2011, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    This isn't going to be good for my family's business. Luckily, we get our cream from a local small/medium sized dairy that I dont think will be effected as immediately as the huge corporations. Their milk prices were already more expensive simply because they don't have the manufacturing capacity to compete on price alone.
    No more IRS.

    Not mentioned but the supply side of the dairy price equation is also not good. Due to the heatwaves of the past couple of years (global warming anybody?), dairy farmers sold off a lot of their stock because they could not afford to feed and water them. That means lower supplies which also drives up prices. Price controls on diary products have also been easing- allowing for such increases. Plus higher exports - China (no surprise) is buying more- particularly powdered mild.

    The 2014 farm bill brings dairy policy change

    Programs that were eliminated
    In addition to creating the Margin Protection Program and the Dairy Product Donation Program, the new farm bill eliminates the Dairy Product Price Support Program and the Dairy Export Incentive Program.

    According to NMPF, the Federal Milk Marketing Order Review Commission established in the previous farm bill is also eliminated. Also, once the Margin Protection Program is up and running, the Milk Income Loss Coverage (MILC) program will be eliminated .
    Pizza prices were supposed to soar in 2012 also: http://gawker.com/5927234/record-dro...za-consumption

    Record Drought Set to Ruin America's Pizza Consumption

    We already know the U.S is in a drought. But who gives a $#@!, right? Well, based on our insatiable desire for meat/cheese-based everything, a whole lot of us will start caring soon: dairy and meat prices are about to go way up.

    According to dairy doomsayer and agricultural economist with the Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service, Roger Hoskin, we might have to change the way we live in the most drastic way possible: by cutting back on cheese: "You'll see less cheese on pizzas and in salad bars," says Hoskin. I know this guy is just doing his scientist job and we're not supposed to kill the messenger and all that, but I dare this Hoskins to stop hiding behind the protection of the liberal media (aka USA Today) and say that $#@! to an actual American's face.

    Anyway, we're not going to, like, actually run out of milk - "I can't imagine situations where you'd have people standing in line to get milk at the dairy counter," says Hoskins, which, finally some good news from this dude – but it will get annoyingly, and possibly prohibitively, expensive.

    Here's kind of an explanation why the heat and drought are ruining our cheese-based dream life:

    Temperatures in the 90s and above mean cows give less milk, and sky-high feed prices are making it more expensive to feed them. Add to that the cost dairies must pay for fans and sprinkler systems to keep the animals cool during long hot days and nights.
    And here's how bad it will get, according to milk experts:

    By August, the cost of a gallon of milk at the supermarket could rise by 10 to 15 cents and by Christmas an additional 25 cents on top of that, says Mary Ledman, chief analyst with the Daily Dairy Report in Libertyville, Ill.

    Wholesale cheese prices are at about $1.72 a pound. "I expect the cheese price to get up to $1.95 in November," says Jerry Dryer, editor of the Dairy & Food Market Analyst in Delray Beach, Fla.

    Stopped at (global warming anybody). Stfu about that bull$#@! if you want to be taken seriously, El lefty. In the US record low temperatures are double record high temps. And when is the the world record high temperature set in Libya in 1923, or the record high temperature in the US set in 1936 going to be broken?

    You are right- that is not proof of climate change. Your statement is also not proof that climate change does not occur. It concerns long term- not short term changes.

    It is also true that the United States is only six percent of the surface of the Earth so even if we are cooler here we also need to look at what is happening on the rest of the planet as well.

    The cost of your pizza has been higher than advertised since Pizza Hut added a .50 delivery charge in '99. The delivery charge has nothing to do with rewarding your delivery driver. It is a way for the pizza chains to hide increase of cost. What are they these days? $3.50 delivery charge? That money goes to cost increases, wages, insurance, etc.

    When I was in an ecology class, they of course push for climate change.

    Another angle is that it is normal for climate change because of cycles. But the problem is that instead of taking tens of thousands of years to change, it is suggested it is changing faster. Change in decades or centuries, because of human activity. This is what they were teaching a few years ago.

    I don't agree with those teachings. but co2 is a non factor. Carbon credits is bull$#@!. Methane and water vapor is much more potent as what liberals call, greenhouse gas. Water vapor is particularly potent... I guess we gotta ban water. Chemically speaking, it is mostly because of the bonds.

    ban water!!

    My physician told me I can't have pizza anymore.

    hmmm pizza...


    Pretty cheap and no delivery charges if you get your pizza this way. Even if cheese becomes more expensive - I don't think it would since we still have an excess of milk here - I'm still going to make lots of pizza's.

    If they made a fat free pizza, I could have some.

    So let me see if I understand you. Any time there is any anecdotal evidence of high temps we can clamor about "global warming" but when someone calls you out it your backup is "Well...okay. But you can't prove it isn't happening."? So now those that don't believe the global warming hysteria have to prove the negative?
