MD DA540 Dry Whey - West                                         

MADISON, WI.  June 29, 2017 (REPORT 26)                          

DRY WHEY - WEST                                                  

For Western whey, the top of the mostly price series and both ends of the 
range slid lower. A number of industry contacts suggest brand matters and has 
a significant impact on the seller's ability to command a stronger price. 
Domestic demand is adequate to move some volumes, but exports are near 
impossible unless the whey is priced in the lower end of the range. Combined, 
domestic and international demand are not able to fully keep pace with 
supplies. Whey production is active and in line with cheese production. 
Industry contacts suggest whey inventories have backed up a little.
