Market News reporters collect report information from the field according to region. Market News reporters call their contacts in the field, gather information, and estimate data values for inclusion in their reports. Dairy Market News publishes commodity reports that mainly list price information. Some reports however, publish volume and truckload information.

Market News reporters use the Oracle reporting system to generate reports. Reporters add commentary to these reports before they are ready for publication. The data is published in the Dairy Market News Portal shortly after the Text and PDF reports are published. CME and CCC Purchases reports are published on a daily basis; most Dairy reports are published on a weekly basis, whereas International reports are published on a bi-weekly frequency. After these files are published with commentary they are available for public retrieval.

Any custom report available in the Dairy Market News Portal is available in html, text, PDF, XML, and Excel formats. Links to a custom report can also be saved and sent.
