DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       

Dry buttermilk prices are unchanged. Production is increasing, 
as butter churning is active in the West. Some processors expect 
a higher demand along this fall baking season. Inventories are 
mostly steady. The current uptick of NDM spot prices is helping 
to strengthen the demand for dry buttermilk. The market tone 
remains firm. The September 2015 Dairy Market News monthly 
average for the West dry buttermilk mostly series is $0.7936 
compared to $1.5729 a year ago. 
DAIRY PRODUCTS:  According to NASS, U.S. production of dry 
buttermilk during August 2015 totaled 6.4 million pounds, 16.7% 
lower than a year but 6.9% higher than the previous month.
