     Report 35 - Released on September 01, 2021

     Cheese markets are holding a stable undertone. In the Northeast, cheese operations are
     working through a steady to lower milk supply. Milk production is seasonally dropping off
     farms, and Class I demands continue to grow in the region. Cheddar, mozzarella and provolone
     cheese makers are operating on steady to lower production schedules. Cheese inventory levels
     remain mostly balanced. Market participants relay cheese inventories are in-line with
     current demands. Cheese sales in the foodservice sector continue to display stronger
     numbers. Retail cheese sales are stable.
