MADISON, WI.  February 23, 2017 (REPORT 8)                       

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               

In the Central region, dry whey prices moved higher on bother ends of the 
mostly price series and at the bottom of the price range. Production is 
steadily increasing to match surplus milk intakes. With continued interest 
from Southeast Asia, export demand is trending upward. Reports vary on spot 
trading. Some end users are content with current contracts and are hesitant 
to buy on the spot market, while other contacts suggest requests are 
occurring regularly. Inventories are adequate, but reportedly tightening. 
Animal feed whey prices are unchanged. Some industry contacts say 
manufacturers are floating out a few more offers for animal feed whey.

F.O.B. CENTRAL:    .4300 - .5700   MOSTLY:    .4550 - .5050      
F.O.B. CENTRAL: ANIMAL FEED MILK REPLACER:    .3375 - .4450
