MD DA811 Cheese - Foreign Type                                   

MADISON, WI.  February 10, 2016 (REPORT 6)    

FOREIGN TYPE CHEESE                                              

Domestic Swiss cheese production remains fairly steady. With sluggish 
sales, inventories have increased more than most varieties. U.S. 
wholesale domestic Swiss prices adjusted down $0.0175 due to a 
decline in the Class III price. The remaining domestic foreign type 
cheese prices adjusted up $0.0050 following the higher weekly
average CME Group block price.
