MD DA350 Dry Buttermilk (Central and East)                  

MADISON, WI.  November 22, 2016 (REPORT 47)                 


DRY BUTTERMILK - CENTRAL AND EAST                           
                                                            
CENTRAL: Central dry buttermilk prices are mixed. The production 
of dry buttermilk is active as increased churning occurs at most 
butter operations. Dryer timetables have been moved to operating 
24/7 production schedules at some plants. Trading in the spot 
market is light this holiday week. Exchanges are moving primarily 
through contracts. Manufacturers' supplies are building steadily.
EAST: East dry buttermilk prices saw the spread widen as prices 
moved lower at the bottom of the range but increased at the top of 
the range. Dry buttermilk output is building, with increased 
volumes of condensed buttermilk moving into production. With 
Thanksgiving churning needs completed, the focus has moved to 
Christmas holiday orders. Spot transactions are limited, while 
some less-than-load exchanges occurred. Inventories are adequate.

F.O.B. CENTRAL/EAST:    .8600 - .9400
