MD DA350 Dry Buttermilk (Central and East)                  

MADISON, WI.  October 13, 2016 (REPORT 41)                  


DRY BUTTERMILK - CENTRAL AND EAST                           
                                                            
CENTRAL: In the Central region, dry buttermilk prices held steady 
on light f.o.b. spot trading. Dry buttermilk production is up as 
butter churns are active. Stocks are mostly moderate. Domestic 
interest is light. Buyers in general are delaying purchasing of 
dry buttermilk as market developments cause some uncertainty, due 
partly to the NDM price decline. Dry buttermilk has a steady 
market undertone.
EAST: The price of dry buttermilk in the East is unchanged in a 
steady market. Output is improving with the volume of available 
cream moving into butter facilities. Reductions in condensed 
buttermilk clearing to ice cream/mix also elevates production. 
Demand is light. Many buyers are in a wait-and-see purchasing 
approach. Inventories are adequate for customer needs.

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