MADISON, WI.  May 18, 2017 (REPORT 20)                           

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               
                                                                 
Central dry whey prices declined on the bottom of the price range and saw 
declines on both ends of the mostly price series. The Central dry whey spot 
market was somewhat active. End users, who have been taking a wait-and-see 
approach, have begun to take advantage of financially favorable spot loads. 
Dry whey production remains active, as discounted milk continues to flow 
into Midwestern cheese plants. Dry whey export interest reports vary by 
contact, but some producers noted a slowdown in global demand. Dry whey 
inventories are generally adequate. Animal feed whey prices remain 
unchanged. Animal feed whey spot activity was quiet, as contacts point out 
that some end users are opting for discounted feed grade nonfat dry milk. 
Animal feed whey inventories are adequate.
