**The 24 states that produce the most milk totaled 18.1 billion pounds in December, down 0.1% from the previous December.
November’s revised production, at 17.3 billion pounds, was 0.6% below the previous November.
That revision represented a decrease of 14 million pounds, less than 0.1% from November’s preliminary estimate.
The USDA says per cow production averaged 2,030 pounds for December, one pound above December of 22.
