MD DA560 Dry Whey - Northeast                                        

MADISON, WI.  October 29, 2015 (REPORT 43)                           


DRY WHEY - NORTHEAST                                                 
                                                                     
Northeast prices for dry whey declined sharply, due to lower fob spot sales 
and adjustments to pricing indices. Some manufacturers utilized end-of-month 
trading to clear additional loads, below market. Otherwise, cash trading has 
been limited this week. Dry whey continues to trade actively in the resale 
market. Some Eastern producers have little or no product to offer aside from 
contract loads, in a fairly tight market. The market undertone is unsettled.

F.O.B. NORTHEAST:           EXTRA GRADE AND GRADE A:   .1700 - .2550                                                                      


Dairy Market News Reporting Changes Proposal

Dairy Market News (DMN) is proposing updating the Dairy Market News Working 
Guidelines. This proposal is the result of an industry comment period. The 
updates would allow DMN market reports to additionally include information 
and sales prices reported by individuals and firms functioning as marketing 
agents selling on the behalf of dairy product manufacturers. The Working 
Guidelines updates are intended to capture more information on pricing and 
market conditions and reflect the evolution of the marketing of dairy 
products. Currently, market pricing information is collected for first sale, 
f.o.b. producers' plants or warehouses. The changes would be effective 
starting with Report 1, January 2016.
