MD DA530 Dry Whey - Central                                      

MADISON, WI.  February 25, 2016 (REPORT 8)                       

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               
                                                                 

In the Central region, dry whey prices are steady to fractionally lower as 
some variable contract prices adjusted to fluctuations in indices. 
Although spot market activity is reported as moderate, end users report 
they are getting inquiries as to their upcoming dry whey needs from 
secondary market participants. This is signaling some growth in 
inventories held by brokers and traders, in addition to producers' 
inventories. However, one or two dry whey manufacturers report their 
inventories are fully committed for the next several weeks. Production is 
steady to higher at many facilities in the Central region as manufacturing 
milk supplies continue to step higher. Animal feed dry whey prices are 
unchanged. Spot market activity is light. Manufacturers are reportedly 
cobbling together loads from various lots, but the process is slow. 

F.O.B. CENTRAL:    .2000 - .2750   MOSTLY:    .2225 - .2575      
F.O.B. CENTRAL: ANIMAL FEED MILK REPLACER:    .1400 - .2150
