MD DA530 Dry Whey - Central                                      

MADISON, WI.  August 03, 2017 (REPORT 31)                        

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               

Central whey prices remained steady on the price range, but slid on the 
mostly price series. The spot market for dry whey was active. A number of 
larger-volume transactions were reported this week, which applied some 
downward pressure on prices. Manufacturers report that inventories vary by 
plant. Buyers and end users continue to report receiving regular offers. 
Some contacts suggest the increase in overall spot activity is due to 
manufacturers being more inclined to manage/clear inventories. Dry whey 
production is unchanged. Feed whey spot market prices decreased on both ends 
of the price range. Feed whey spot activity followed last week's trend, and 
was noticeably busier than earlier in the season. Feed whey inventories 
remain available.
