DRY WHOLE MILK - NATIONAL                                        
                                                                 
Prices for dry whole milk are lower on the bottom of the range, but 
unchanged on the top on a lightly traded market. Contract sales cover the 
majority of transactions for the week. The wide range of prices represents 
producers trying to lighten inventories and buyers taking scheduled loads 
on specific brands. Production is light as dryer schedules are more 
actively devoted to NDM production. The March 2015 Dairy Market News 
average of the price series for dry whole milk was $1.3950, compared 
to $2.1538 one year ago.
