DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               
                                      
Central dry whey prices decreased on the top of the range, but increased on 
both the bottom and top of the mostly price series. The Central dry whey 
spot market saw an increase in activity from previous weeks. Dry whey 
production is in line with the surplus amounts of milk, which Class III 
producers are taking in. Domestic demand was steady, but export interests 
are reportedly picking up. Some domestic end users are contentedly stocked, 
and are only buying when they find favorable prices. The dry whey market 
tone is uncertain. Animal feed whey prices remain unchanged. Animal feed 
whey spot trades were infrequent. Animal feed whey inventory reports are 
adequate for current needs. The DMN monthly average of the mostly price 
series for Central dry whey during April was $0.4900, compared to $0.2371 a 
year ago. The monthly average of the range price series for Central animal 
feed whey during February was $0.3900, compared to $0.1752 a year ago.
