In this episode of Parlor to Plate, from Ever.Ag Insights, the team takes stock of mid-September market dynamics across cheese, butter, grains, and feed. Butter production continues to surge, yet inventories remain tight, as bulk markets weaken. Cheese markets face fresh pressure as falling European mozzarella prices narrow the U.S. export advantage, raising questions about whether record shipments can continue. On the producer side, 2026 milk futures are trending lower, with margins hovering near breakeven and beef markets looming as a key risk factor. Grain markets are steady but watching closely for the USDA’s September WASDE report, where yield adjustments could set the tone for corn and soybean meal prices through harvest. 

Join host Kathleen Wolfley and panelists John Billington, Ryan Yonkman, and Jim Matthews for a lively discussion.
