MD DA710 Dry Whole Milk - National                               

MADISON, WI.  January 12, 2017 (REPORT 2)                        

DRY WHOLE MILK - NATIONAL                                        
                                                                 
National dry whole milk f.o.b. spot prices are unchanged on light 
trading. With the winter season in full swing, demand from hot 
chocolate dry mix processors remain active. Production is 
slightly improving in some plants, as the current interest for 
butterfat is weak. However, in other processing facilities, 
drying schedules are irregular as operators are focusing on 
converting condensed skim into NDM and SMP. Dry whole milk 
inventories are steady to slightly higher throughout the country. 
The NASS Dairy Products report noted U.S. dry whole milk 
production during November 2016 totaled 6.7 million pounds, 12.0 
percent higher than a year ago. Total U.S. dry whole milk month-
ending stocks for November were 12.1 million pounds, 62.9 percent 
above last year.  

F.O.B. PRODUCING PLANT:         1.4400 - 1.6000
