Here’s the latest announcement from Cooperatives Working Together:
Cooperatives Working Together accepted seven export assistance bids last week for the sale of butter. The first bid was accepted from O-AT-KA of Batavia, New York – the first time CWT has accepted a bid from that organization. That bid was for 200 metric tons (440,000 pounds) of butter to Nicaragua.
Two bids were accepted from Darigold of Seattle, WA, each for the export of 250 tons (550,000 lbs.) of butter to the Netherlands, for a total of 500 tons.
The other four bids were from Land O’Lakes of Arden Hills, MN: 455 tons (1,000,120 lbs.) of butter to the Netherlands; 72 tons (158,400 lbs.) of butter to Austria (the first time CWT has exported products to that nation); 234 tons (514,800 lbs.) to Morocco, and another 216 tons (475,200 lbs.) to Morocco.
These accepted bids increase CWT’s total 2007 export obligations for cheese to 5,279 metric tons (11.6 million lbs.), its YTD export obligations for butter to 6,994 metric tons (15.4 million lbs.), and its YTD anhydrous milkfat exports to 2,180 tons (4.8 million lbs.).

I am curious how consumers and other interested people feel about CWT exporting American dairy products during a time when many dairy products are near an all time high?
