MD DA350 Dry Buttermilk (Central and East)                  

MADISON, WI.  September 15, 2016 (REPORT 37)                

DRY BUTTERMILK - CENTRAL AND EAST                           
                                                            
CENTRAL: The Central dry buttermilk market saw prices move higher 
at the lower end of the range. The demand side of the Central dry 
buttermilk market continues to be light and with spot interest 
mainly inspired by buyers' immediate needs. Supplies are moving 
through contracts. Not much trading occurred in the spot market 
this week. Inventories are comfortable for committed accounts. The 
market undertone is steady.
EAST: Eastern dry buttermilk prices are trending upwards in an 
unsettled market. Manufacturers are churning at mixed rates as 
butter needs vary from plant to plant. Manufacturers report stocks 
as sufficient for customers' contracts, while a few buyers/sellers 
suggest the market is not as tight as some reports are indicating. 
Demand has slowed and remains light as bakery orders are primarily 
hand to mouth. However, the market continues to show some strength 
on the heels of the NDM market. 

F.O.B. CENTRAL/EAST:    .8300 - .8900
