According to the latest figures provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, production in November totaled 1.24 billion pounds, down 0.2 percent from November 2020.

The average milk price received by New York farmers in October 2021, at $19.90 per hundredweight, is up $1.00 from September 2021 and up $1.10 from October a year ago.

The number of milking cows in the state increased from 626,000 in November 2020 to 628,000 in November 2021.

The price for the butter so essential to the pastries has shot up in recent months, by 25% since September alone, Delmontel says.
