MD DA540 Dry Whey - West                                         

MADISON, WI.  February 16, 2017 (REPORT 7)                       

DRY WHEY - WEST                                                  

Western whey prices moved higher at the top of the price range, but 
otherwise held steady. A few manufactures report getting pushback on 
prices near the top of the range. Other industry contacts note 
continued strength in whey market prices. Demand is in fairly good 
balance with production. Contacts report whey is moving well through 
existing agreements with both international and domestic customers. 
Spot load activity is a little light. Production is steady, but lower 
than previous years. Whey inventories are generally tight and 
committed.
