MADISON, WI.  September 28, 2017 (REPORT 39)                                    

NONFAT DRY MILK - CENTRAL AND EAST 
                                             
CENTRAL: Low/medium heat nonfat dry milk (NDM) prices in the Central region 
decreased on the range and mostly price series. Compared to the rest of the 
month, spot market trading was active. Low/medium heat NDM inventories 
remain available. Low/medium heat NDM production is active, although 
producers are beginning to shift dryer time to other seasonal selections. 
The low/medium heat NDM market tone is weak. High heat NDM prices remain 
unchanged. Spot offers of high heat NDM are increasing. Inventories of high 
heat NDM are slowly building, as producers prepare for the busier season.
EAST: Low/medium heat nonfat dry milk (NDM) prices in the East region 
decreased on both ends of the range and mostly price series this week. Spot 
trading activity is steady to lower as market participants do not have a 
high need currently. Many dairy contacts are bidding for lower prices on the 
spot market. Some balancing operations are taking in lower milk volumes. 
Low/medium heat NDM production is decreased as manufacturers are doing 
maintenance to dryers and are taking in lower milk loads. Inventories are 
adequate for contract and spot load requests. The demand is steady to lower 
as market participants are waiting to see what happens to the price. The 
market tone is soft. High heat NDM prices are unchanged. Production has 
picked up a bit in a couple balancing plants. Manufacturers have short to no 
inventories. Spot activity is quiet as offers are very limited. The market 
undertone for high heat NDM is steady. 

F.O.B. CENTRAL/EAST:  Includes EXTRA GRADE and GRADE A                          
LOW/MEDIUM HEAT:   .8300 -  .9000          MOSTLY:   .8600 - .8800
