MD DA350 Dry Buttermilk (Central and East)                  

MADISON, WI.  January 29, 2015 (REPORT 4)                   

DRY BUTTERMILK - CENTRAL AND EAST                           

CENTRAL: Dry buttermilk prices are mixed.  The price stayed steady on the 
bottom while the top of the market went lower.  Demand is weaker. The market 
tone is weaker as product is available. Dry buttermilk production rates were 
higher this week. Inventories are mixed with several manufacturers clearing 
out supplies.                                                             
EAST:  Eastern dry buttermilk prices are steady to lower.  Production varies 
amongst butter makers as manufacturers process available buttermilk solids.  
Some contacts report active clearing of condensed buttermilk to end users 
through the spot market.  Producers' stocks of dry buttermilk are moderate 
to heavy.  Volumes are clearing to bakery and ice cream production.  Demand 
beyond contracts is mostly light.  The market undertone remains unsettled. 

F.O.B. CENTRAL/EAST:    .7000 - .9450
