MD DA340 Dry Buttermilk  - West                             

MADISON, WI.  April 16, 2015 (REPORT 15)                    

DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       
                                                            
Western dry buttermilk prices are steady on the range, but lower on the 
mostly as several F.O.B. spot loads cleared early in the week. Demand from 
the ice cream sector is seasonally moving higher. Bakery and snack 
accounts are also taking dry buttermilk loads on an as-contracted basis. 
The F.O.B. spot loads that cleared during the week reduced inventories at 
some locations for the near term. However, butter production in the west 
is active, as is dry buttermilk production, and inventories are expected 
to rebuild. 

F.O.B. WEST: .8500 - 1.0100   MOSTLY:  .8600 - .8900
