MD DA530 Dry Whey - Central                                      

MADISON, WI.  April 20, 2017 (REPORT 16)                         

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               
                                                                 
Central dry whey prices increased on the top of the range, but decreased on the 
bottom of the mostly price series. Contacts suggest the widening price range is 
due to particular brand specifications sought out by buyers. Dry whey 
production is in line with active cheese production. Spot market offers were 
frequent this week, although completed transactions were fairly light. Some end 
users report taking a wait-and-see approach, as they feel the market is top 
heavy. However, other contacts expect near term firmness. The dry whey market 
tone is uncertain. Animal feed whey prices went unchanged this week. The animal 
feed whey spot market was quiet. Animal feed whey inventory reports vary, and 
many end users are opting for feed grade nonfat dry milk.
