The California Statistics 2016 Annual is a joint effort of the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Like the previous 71 issues, it contains a summary of statistical data that was originally published by CDFA and USDA. This publication would not be possible without the cooperation of the individuals and firms engaged in the production, manufacture, and distribution of milk and dairy products. Both corrections of errors and revisions based on receipt of more complete information are the basis of changes from previously published data.

F or California in 2016, compared to the previous year, total milk

California’s Dairy Industry in 2016

production was down 1.1 percent, the number of dairy cows declined 0.6 percent, milk per cow was down 0.5 percent, and the number of dairies decreased 3.2 percent. The 12-month average price paid to California producers for farm milk in 2016 was $15.03 per hundredweight (cwt.), which represents a drop of 2.4 percent from the previous year.

MilkProduction

California milk production decreased each month through the first three quarters of 2016, compared to the same month in the previous year, and adjusting for leap day in February. However, milk production during the fourth quarter increased each month compared to the same month in 2015. Total milk production for 2016 was 40.4 billion pounds, which is 429.6 million pounds less than the previous year. The five leading milk producing counties (Tulare, Merced, Kings, Stanislaus, and Kern) accounted for 72.4 percent of the state’s total milk production in 2016. Grade B milk production in 2016 recorded an increase of 73.1 percent (334.4 million more pounds), when compared to 2015. Milk production per cow in 2016 was estimated at 23,265 pounds, and the total number of cows in the state was estimated to be 1.738 million head.

Utilization

In 2016, pooled milk utilized in the production of butter and dried milk products (Class 4a) increased slightly to 32.3 percent (from 32.1 percent in 2015). The percentage of pooled milk going into the production of cheese and whey products (Class 4b) also increased slightly to 46.4 percent (from 46.3 percent in 2015). In comparison to 2015, California butter production decreased by 3.0 percent, nonfat dry milk (human) production decreased by 19.2 percent, while the production of other dry milk products increased by 36.5 percent. California total cheese production hit a record high in 2016, logging an overall increase of 3.3 percent compared to 2015. For the top three cheeses produced in the state, compared to 2015, Mozzarella production increased 4.5 percent, Cheddar production decreased 4.2 percent, and Monterey Jack production increased 4.1 percent. In 2016, utilization of pooled milk for Class 1 (fluid milk) products remained relatively unchanged at 13.0 percent compared to 2015. Whole milk sales increased in 2016, while reduced fat, lowfat, and skim milk sales decreased compared to 2015. Half-and-half sales remained constant in 2016 compared to the previous year. As a whole, Class 1 sales continued to decline in 2016, recording an overall decrease of 3.1 percent compared to 2015.

Milk Prices

During the first part of 2016, milk prices were depressed as the overall supply of milk on a national and global level outpaced the demand for dairy products. During the latter part of the year, milk prices strengthened as the supply of milk in most key dairy export regions, with the exception of the U.S., began to contract. In California, the annual average price paid to producers for farm milk in 2016 was $15.03/cwt., with the lowest average monthly price occurring in May at $12.89/cwt. and the highest average monthly price occurring in December at $17.55/cwt.

HearingsThe Department held a public hearing on April 11, 2016, called on the motion of the Secretary, to consider amendments to the valuation of whey in the Class 4b pricing formula. As a result of this hearing, the Department implemented modifications to the steps and values of the dry whey scale used in the Class 4b pricing formula. The dry whey scale adopted following this hearing was the same dry whey scale that was implemented on a temporary basis following a hearing held the previous year. Further information regarding this hearing may be accessed from the Dairy Marketing Branch website: https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/dairy/dairy_hearings_matrix.html.

which represents a 1.1 percent decrease compared to the previous year. Of the state’s total milk production during the year, 98.0 percent was market grade (Grade A), while the remaining 2.0 percent was manufacturing grade (Grade B).

The 24 milk-producing counties of the Northern California region accounted for 94.3 percent of the market milk and nearly 100 percent of the manufacturing milk produced commercially during 2016.

The five leading counties in total milk production for 2016, in ranking order, were: Tulare (27.3 percent), Merced (15.2 percent), Kings (10.6 percent), Stanislaus (9.9 percent), and Kern (9.5 percent). These five counties accounted for 72.4 percent of California’s total milk production.

alifornia total milk production reached 40.4 billion pounds in 2016,
