MD DA560 Dry Whey - Northeast                                        

MADISON, WI.  January 08, 2015 (REPORT 1)                            


DRY WHEY - NORTHEAST                                                                                                                      

Dry whey prices are steady to lower this week as the market undertone 
continues to soften.  Cheese production is robust, increasing liquid whey 
volumes clearing to the dryers.  Inventories are sufficient for contract 
needs with available stocks on-hand for spot market transactions.  The 
market is fairly quiet as a majority of buyers utilize a wait-and-see 
approach as New Year contract negotiations continue.  The December 2014 
Dairy Market News monthly average for the Northeast region whey powder range 
price series is $0.6015 compared to $0.5986 a year ago.           

F.O.B. NORTHEAST:           EXTRA GRADE AND GRADE A:   .5200 - .6200
