MD DA530 Dry Whey - Central                                      

MADISON, WI.  March 17, 2016 (REPORT 11)                         

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               

Central dry whey prices are unchanged to fractionally lower on the range and 
mostly series. Variable contract prices showed some downward movement due to 
changes in indices. Buyers remain in the driver's seat on pricing as they are 
ready to reject offers carrying prices deemed too high for this type of 
market. With seasonal milk production edging higher in the North Central 
area, cheese plants continue to receive ample intake volumes, thus fostering 
steady to higher cheese/dry whey production. Also, dry whey spot loads are 
available via marketing agents and resellers. A handful of manufacturers 
report interest from buyers in the Far East is improving. Recent sales are 
alleviating some of the recent inventory buildup. Animal feed dry whey prices 
are unchanged. Interest is intermittent. Here, too, end users are finding 
available supplies as well as some more economically priced alternatives. 

                                                                 
F.O.B. CENTRAL:    .1800 - .2850   MOSTLY:    .2200 - .2650      
F.O.B. CENTRAL: ANIMAL FEED MILK REPLACER:    .1250 - .2150
