April Dairy Output Rises Nearly 3% Across Major Producing States

Dairy production showed strong growth last month across the country’s leading milk-producing regions, according to new federal data.

The 24 major milk-producing states generated a combined 19.2 billion pounds of milk in April, marking a 2.8 percent increase compared to April of the previous year.

The uptick in production reflects continued strength in the nation’s dairy industry during the spring season when output typically begins to rise.
