Milk Futures Give Back Some of Last Weeks Gains in Chicago on Tuesday


On the Chicago Mercantile Exchange milk futures closed lower Tuesday pressured by declining world prices.  Class III milk gave back some of its gains from late last week. May was even at $16.29/cwt, but June fell 7 cents to $16.44. The second half months lost 12-17 cents to fall off our $17 average to $16.88. $17 continues to be a strong resistance to rallying milk prices. Class IV milk was unchanged in May to 16.28, July fell 10 cents ot 16.94 and August fell 14 cents to $17.08/cwt.
