MD_DA560 DA MD DA560 Dry Whey - Northeast MADISON, WI. April 13, 2017 (REPORT 15) DRY WHEY - NORTHEAST In the Northeast region, whey production is strong. Northeastern whey prices held steady on the bottom half of the range, and shifted downward a tad on the top half of the price range this week. Industry contacts have reported seeing resale loads at prices lower than published prices. Market participants have also communicated there is not an urgency to move whey, and some manufacturers would rather sit on loads. Spot sales continue to be light. Interest for dry whey is steady, and the market is firming, potentially due to a Northeast cheese plant closing its doors in a month. The market tone is stable. F.O.B.
