MD DA350 Dry Buttermilk (Central and East)                  

MADISON, WI.  September 28, 2017 (REPORT 39)                

DRY BUTTERMILK - CENTRAL AND EAST                           
                                                            
CENTRAL: Prices for Central dry buttermilk slightly increased on the top 
of the range. Spot sale trading was fairly active, as manufacturers have 
begun to increase production ahead of the fall rush. However, 
inventories are not yet fully accessible, as some end users have 
reported difficulty finding spot loads. The dry buttermilk market tone 
is firm.
EAST: Prices for Eastern dry buttermilk are steady on the bottom but 
slightly increased on the top of the range this week. Market 
participants report seeing very few offers on the spot market. The 
demand is fairly stable as there are expectations the market will pick 
up soon. Dry buttermilk production is steady and inventories are 
adequate in a couple plants and unavailable in other manufacturing 
operations. The market tone is generally steady. 
   
F.O.B. CENTRAL/EAST:    .8700 - .9475
