DRY BUTTERMILK - CENTRAL AND EAST                           
                                                            
CENTRAL: Prices for Central dry buttermilk saw a slight increase on the 
top of the range. Spot sale trading was a bit more active. Demand for 
dry buttermilk is moderate, and some manufacturers who have been 
focusing on contracted obligations had a bit more dry buttermilk for 
spot market transactions. That being said, dry buttermilk production is 
still being sidelined, as NDM production remains priority number one for 
many manufacturers. Inventory reports range from slight to available. 
The market undertone is somewhat stable. 
EAST: Prices in the East region for dry buttermilk jumped up on the top 
of the range this week. Market participants are seeing limited spot load 
offers. Dairy industry individuals with time demands for dry buttermilk 
are purchasing spots at higher prices, and some end users are seeing 
offers at prices higher than the price range. Production is steady to 
shut off. Many manufacturers are currently not drying buttermilk. 
Stockpiles are light in a number of plants. The market undertone is 
steady.
