MD DA350 Dry Buttermilk (Central and East)                  

MADISON, WI.  September 22, 2016 (REPORT 38)                


DRY BUTTERMILK - CENTRAL AND EAST                           
                                                            
CENTRAL: Prices in the Central dry buttermilk market adjusted 
higher through the range, prompted by limited f.o.b. spot trading. 
Production is at seasonal levels. Manufacturers expect increases 
in production schedules as they manage existing dry buttermilk 
inventories based on customer orders. In general, buyers/sellers 
indicate a mostly flat market. The market undertone is steady. 
EAST: Dry buttermilk prices in the East continued the upward trend 
this week. Production is mixed. Higher output and availability 
levels were sidelined somewhat this week, as plants' dryers were 
reported down. Although light, inventories levels are sufficient 
for customer orders. Overall, new demand is rather quiet as buyers 
withhold from purchasing beyond immediate needs while the market 
settles. The market undertone is firm.

F.O.B. CENTRAL/EAST:    .8400 - .9000
