MD DA530 Dry Whey - Central                                      

MADISON, WI.  August 20, 2015 (REPORT 33)                        

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               
                                                                 
In the Central region, dry whey prices are mixed on a mostly weak market. 
A few manufacturers have cleared some inventories and are no longer 
offering discount priced dry whey. Most end users are reluctant to 
purchase volumes beyond near-term needs, but a few short term contracts 
have been completed. Prices on those contracts vary between fixed, and 
basis related. A few resellers have purchased loads, but finding buyers is 
difficult, even with some price discounts. Production is steady to lower. 
Cheese manufacturers indicate their internal milk supplies are decreasing. 
Also, spot milk loads are less plentiful. Dry whey inventories are mostly 
steady. Animal feed dry whey prices are lower. End users indicate they 
have many sources to choose among, including producers, brokers, 
resellers, and other end users.    

F.O.B. CENTRAL:    .1700 - .3475   MOSTLY:    .2000 - .2600      
F.O.B. CENTRAL: ANIMAL FEED MILK REPLACER:    .1800 - .2000
