MADISON, WI.   April 29, 2015 (Report 17)   


NORTHEAST BUTTER:   

Regional butter production is active.  Manufacturers are seeing increases 
in cream volumes, which lends to growing inventories.  The butter market 
is fairly quiet as many representatives attend an industry conference.  
Current bulk butter prices for domestic sales are reported 5-6 cents over 
the market of the CME Group, with various time frames and averages used.
According to the DMN National Retail Report-Dairy, for April 24-30, the 
national weighted average advertised price for 1-pound butter is $2.86, 
up $0.01 from a year ago.  The Northeast price is $3.13, a $0.35 drop 
from the previous week.  In the Southeast, the butter price averaged 
$2.94, a $0.49 increase compared to a week ago.  Tuesday's CME Group cash
