Dairy | Cheese Barrel -Up Block -Up The CME Block market responded to the governments release of another billion dollars in the USDA Box program.

A piece of good news - the Brazilian crop has come to market and export orders have shifted from the U.S. to South America. This at least provides our supply chain a much needed break. With planting underway, we need to see good weather to help with yields for the next crop. Prices should remain firm given processors have placed most customers on allocation.
