Milk - General

Milk prices are likely to stay flat into 2026 as growing milk supplies and beef-on-dairy incentives outweigh steady demand, keeping margins tight and buyers on the sidelines.

Federal government will cut the bureaucracy to support the dairy industry, focused on tougher measures to stop major animal disease problems and improve labor availability.

While dairy operations are working to expand, finding millions of more cows is challenging, feed costs are high and both land and water are scarce.
