NONFAT DRY MILK - WEST                                           
 
Prices for Western low/medium heat nonfat dry milk are mixed based on 
movements of various indices. End users with unmet needs through the 
end of the year have yet to come forward to take positions on 
low/medium heat NDM. Resellers also are reluctant to purchase volumes 
beyond immediate needs, so trading is limited to back-to-back spot 
sales. Low/medium heat nonfat dry milk production is steady to lower 
at most locations. Those plants with lower intakes are operating 
below full capacity. Production is higher at a few locations as peak 
milk production arrives in the Pacific Northwest. High heat nonfat 
dry milk prices are unchanged on light interest. Production is 
intermittent, with drying schedules depending on fulfilling 
established orders. Inventories are light to moderate.
