With warmer weather we can expect cheese demand to pick up.” Margins are still a concern for dairy producers. “There’s great opportunity with these historical price levels, but the biggest problem we’re dealing with is the margin side of it. Prices are good but are they where they need to be in terms of maintaining some profit?”
