MD DA560 Dry Whey - Northeast                                        

MADISON, WI.  May 04, 2017 (REPORT 18)                               

DRY WHEY - NORTHEAST                                                 
                                                                     
Northeast dry whey prices are unchanged this week, as buying interest is 
mixed, and trading activity is light to moderate. Few spot loads are 
available for the spot market. Dryers are active, and inventories are 
substantial for contractual needs. As ice cream production builds, the 
market is seeing a rise in demand. With reports of a Northeastern plant soon 
to close, there is uncertainty of how much whey will be available in the 
near term. The market undertone is steady. The April 2017 Dairy Market News 
monthly average for Northeast dry whey was $0.4966 compared to $0.2505 one 
year ago.

F.O.B. NORTHEAST:           EXTRA GRADE AND GRADE A:   .4300 - .5625
