MD DA340 Dry Buttermilk  - West                             

MADISON, WI.  March 12, 2015 (REPORT 10)                    

DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       
                                                            
Prices for Western dry buttermilk are unchanged to lower on a continuing 
weak market. Some market participants have been stymied trying to find 
economically priced dry buttermilk loads that could fulfill back to back 
transactions. On the producer side, inventories are building, but 
apparently are not at the point of forcing sales. Therefore, lower priced 
loads are going to those buyers able to take on multiple loads and carry 
out their disbursal over the coming weeks. Those buyers looking to satisfy 
immediate needs are less likely to find lower prices on single/double load 
bids. Dry buttermilk production is ongoing, following the trend of active 
churning ahead of the spring holidays. 

F.O.B. WEST: .7500 - 1.0000   MOSTLY:  .8800 - .9200
