MD DA530 Dry Whey - Central                                      

MADISON, WI.  June 01, 2017 (REPORT 22)                          

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               
                                                                 
Central dry whey prices increased slightly on the bottom of the range, but 
decreased on both ends of the mostly price series. The Central dry whey spot 
market saw lots of offers, but completed transactions were limited. Some end 
users are stocked, and are confident that prices are fair and will remain in 
the current range for the near term. Whey producers are expressing concerns 
regarding inventories, which are building. Dry whey production is in line 
with ongoing cheese manufacturing, and Class III plants continue to take on 
available and discounted milk in the Midwest. Animal feed whey prices are 
steady. Animal feed whey inventory reports are mixed. Some feed suppliers, 
who stocked up on feed grade whey earlier in the year, are sufficiently 
stocked.    

F.O.B. CENTRAL:    .3550 - .5950   MOSTLY:    .4300 - .5175      
F.O.B. CENTRAL: ANIMAL FEED MILK REPLACER:    .3375 - .4400
