Adisseo logo The trend-setting MilkPrice blog from Adisseo, recently set a readership record of more than 1,300 readers per post. The blog focuses on factors that influence milk pricing in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Dairy Federal Milk Marketing Orders (FMMO). The MilkPrice blog is available at milkprice.blogspot.com. Readers can receive notices of new posts by enrolling on the site. Adisseo is one of the world's largest manufacturers of nutritional solutions for animals.

The MilkPrice blog explores factors that affect producer milk prices. By better understanding the milk pricing models, nutritionists, producers, and others can better manage rations to maximize milk revenue. When used in conjunction with the website milkpay.com and the new iPhone app "milkpay," the returns from potential ration changes can be analyzed to determine the right moves to improve revenue and income over feed costs (IOFC).

At the MilkPrice blog, the emphasis is on FMMOs that pay on components. They make up more than 50 percent of the U.S. milk supply. Analyses of cheese, butter, and dry whey prices are provided along with the factors that influence pricing such as inventories, production, exports and imports, exchange rates, and domestic consumption. The analyses include easy-to-follow trend charts and graphs.

The USDA established FMMOs to stabilize market conditions, benefit producers and consumers by establishing and maintaining orderly marketing conditions, and assure consumers of adequate supplies of pure and wholesome milk at all times. Producers in an FMMO are assured a minimum price for their milk throughout the year.
