MD DA350 Dry Buttermilk (Central and East)                  

MADISON, WI.  August 20, 2015 (REPORT 33)                   


DRY BUTTERMILK - CENTRAL AND EAST                           

CENTRAL: Dry buttermilk prices are unchanged to higher on a mixed market. 
Demand is steady to building, with some manufacturers reporting renewed 
interest ahead of the fall baking season. Dry buttermilk production is 
decreasing as sales of raw milk for bottling needs into the Southeast has 
decreased butter making at some plants in the Central region. Dry buttermilk 
inventories are steady to lower.                                                            
EAST: Prices for East dry buttermilk inched fractionally higher at the top 
of the range. Spot prices are primarily holding in a quiet market, as buyers 
continue with a wait-and-see attitude. Churning activity is steady, adding 
new product to some inventories. Producers' stocks are closely balanced and 
sufficient to cover the fair demand. The market undertone is steady.

F.O.B. CENTRAL/EAST:    .7000 - .8400
