MD DA350 Dry Buttermilk (Central and East)                  

MADISON, WI.  December 29, 2016 (REPORT 52)                 

DRY BUTTERMILK - CENTRAL AND EAST                           
                                                            
CENTRAL: Dry buttermilk prices in the Central region are unchanged 
to higher on limited f.o.b. spot market transactions. The market 
tone remains firm although buyer demand is lackluster this holiday 
week. With increased availability of condensed buttermilk solids, 
the production of dry buttermilk is boosted. Producers' stock are 
growing.
EAST: Regional prices for dry buttermilk are steady to higher as 
few loads exchanged hands in f.o.b. spot markets. Dry buttermilk 
markets continue to display strength, but current prices do little 
to encourage spot purchasing. Producers are accumulating supplies 
as drying outpace demand during the shortened holiday work week.  

F.O.B. CENTRAL/EAST:    .9200 - 1.0000
