Economist Forecasts $18 Milk This Fall

A dairy economist says milk prices could approach $18 by the fall, a more than $4 per hundredweight increase since the beginning of 2019. 
 
University of Wisconsin's Bob Cropp says dairy product production is down, stocks are tightening, and everything is indicating stronger prices for the fourth quarter.

I have already uploaded the Claas, Krone and New Holland product walk arounds and this is the final one for forage harvesters. I will soon be sharing all of the combine walk-arounds from the convention.
