MD DA350 Dry Buttermilk (Central and East)                  

MADISON, WI.  January 26, 2017 (REPORT 4)                   


DRY BUTTERMILK - CENTRAL AND EAST                           
                                                            
CENTRAL: Prices for dry buttermilk in the region match last week's 
prices. Output rates are on track with regionally active butter 
churning. However, some butter makers continue to move buttermilk 
as liquid. Producers' stocks of dry buttermilk are increasing 
slightly. Limited spot interest is reported. The dry buttermilk 
market undertone is steady. 
EAST: Dry buttermilk prices are unchanged. Offerings near the top 
of the range were reported, with confirmed sales. Dry buttermilk 
production remains steady with recent weeks. Limitations on dryer 
times continue due to facilities operating near capacity as they 
absorb heavy milk intakes. In general, dry buttermilk inventories 
are tight, but adequate for supplying customers' processing needs. 
Buyers' demand is mostly sluggish this week. The market undertone 
is steady in a strong market. 

F.O.B. CENTRAL/EAST:    .8900 - 1.0500
