DRY WHEY - NORTHEAST                                                 
                                                                     
Dry whey prices are steady to lower at the top of the range due to downward 
movements in pricing indices. Surplus milk was made available to a few 
cheese plants over the Labor Day holiday weekend, which facilitated 
increased whey production. Moderate demand is clearing inventory and leaving 
most manufacturers comfortable with holdings. Ice cream and baking interest 
is active. Spot market trading is light in the region. Some buyers delayed 
dry whey pickups in waiting for lower price opportunities. The August 2015 
Dairy Market News monthly average for Northeast dry whey was $0.3123 
compared to $0.7043 one year ago. The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), 
reports January-July 2015 U.S. dry whey exports totaled 258.5 million 
pounds, an 18% drop from the previous year.

whey totaled 73.3 million pounds, 16.2% more than a year ago, but 1.9% less
