DRY WHEY - NORTHEAST                                                 
                                                                    
Dry whey prices in the region are unchanged to lower. Production rates are 
holding as steady cheese output develops liquid whey streams. Contracted 
customers are reported being offered additional loads of dry whey. As a 
result, sale prices can be negotiated for volume transactions. Dry whey 
inventories are steady to building. Interest is at normal seasonal levels, 
specifically, as a filler in the production of ice cream. Some sources 
describe the market as having a comfortable undertone. The May 2017 DMN 
monthly average price of dry whey in the Northeast is $0.4845 compared to 
$0.2398 one year ago.
