MD DA350 Dry Buttermilk (Central and East)                  

MADISON, WI.  March 23, 2017 (REPORT 12)                    

DRY BUTTERMILK - CENTRAL AND EAST                           
                                                            
CENTRAL: Dry buttermilk prices remained steady in an uncertain market. 
The dry buttermilk spot market was slightly less active, as many 
contacts suggest they are working through contracts. Dry buttermilk 
demand is fair. However, with increased butter churning, demand is 
struggling to keep up with buttermilk production. Inventories are 
growing.
EAST: In the East, prices for dry buttermilk are steady, on limited spot 
trading. Production levels are mostly steady. Domestic demand is light 
to moderate. Plants are adding to dry buttermilk stocks. As the holiday 
nears, cream based production is expected to pull on available cream 
supplies, thereby limiting dry buttermilk output. The market climate is 
quiet this week.
 
F.O.B. CENTRAL/EAST:    .8300 - 1.0000
