Parlor to Plate: Year-End Dairy Markets - December 16, 2025
Description
In the final Parlor to Plate episode of the year—and of this series—host Kathleen Wolfley is joined by a powerhouse panel from Ever.Ag Financial Services to break down the latest global and domestic dairy market signals. The team digs into another lower Global Dairy Trade auction, highlighting continued pressure on whole milk powder, softer global pricing tied to ample supply, and a standout move higher in mozzarella.
The conversation then turns to U.S. milk production, where panelists discuss why lower prices haven’t yet triggered meaningful culling, how Class III and Class IV dynamics are shaping producer behavior, and what it may take for supply to finally respond. On the feed side, the group unpacks a well-supplied corn balance sheet, muted feed-cost risk heading into 2026, and what kind of catalyst it would take to meaningfully move grain markets.
With insights on risk management, margins, and the road ahead, this episode offers a timely close to the year—and a preview of what’s to come in Ever.Ag’s evolving podcast lineup in 2026.
