DRY WHEY - NORTHEAST                                                 

Dry whey prices are steady. While the spot market is fairly quiet, active 
trading is occurring in the resale market. Overall, demand is strong in the 
region. However, as the region experiences seasonal declines in cheese 
output, some whey channels are seemingly tight on product. Some market 
participants expect prices to rise, with the suggestion that sellers are 
confident with current stocks levels.  The market undertone is unsettled. 
DAIRY PRODUCTS:  According to NASS, U.S. production of human food dry whey 
in August 2015 totaled 82.9 million pounds, 18.3% more than a year ago, and 
3.9% more than the previous month. In the Atlantic region, August production 
of human food dry whey totaled 22.8 million pounds, 1.5% more than a year 
ago and 5.1% more than last month. U.S. month ending stocks of human food 
dry whey totaled 78.4 million pounds, 43.1% more than a year ago, and 6.9% 
more than the previous month. Cumulative U.S. YTD dry whey production 
through August 2015 totaled 646.8 million pounds, 10.6% more than 2014 
during the same time span.
