DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               
                                                                 
Dry whey prices are steady to lower in a weak market. Production is strong 
as cheese production remains active. Sellers note that buyers are taking 
contracted loads, but there is little spot interest. Most buyers are 
buying hand-to-mouth as they wait to see how low prices will go, while 
others are committed through 2015. There are some brokers and resellers 
buying whey at current pricing levels to store and sell later as they feel 
the markets will recover. Some end users are choosing to buy condensed at 
further discounts. Inventory levels are mixed, as some manufacturers are 
making and storing product, while others are selling to not have to pay 
storage fees. Animal feed dry whey prices are unchanged. Manufacturers are 
reporting demand is picking up and some are gaining new customers.
