There was a record amount of cheese and less butter in cold storage at the end of June. There were 1.5 billion pounds of cheese in storage at the end of June, compared to 1.51 billion pounds at the end of May and 1.43 billion pounds a year ago, but that was enough to set a June record.
USDA officials say there were fewer American-style cheeses stored in June than the previous month, but more than 633 million pounds of specialty cheeses helped set the June storage record.
