MD DA340 Dry Buttermilk  - West                             

MADISON, WI.  April 23, 2015 (REPORT 16)                    

DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       
                                                            
In the west, dry buttermilk prices are steady to lower. The market tone is 
weak. Ice cream/frozen dessert accounts are taking additional dry 
buttermilk loads, under previously arranged purchasing agreements, as 
seasonal needs advance. F.O.B. spot offers are intermittent. Producers are 
monitoring inventories and occasionally clearing blocks of loads to ease 
holdings. Dry buttermilk production is active and adding steadily to 
inventories. 

F.O.B. WEST: .8500 - 1.0050   MOSTLY:  .8500 - .8900
