MD DA350 Dry Buttermilk (Central and East)                  

MADISON, WI.  November 24, 2009 (REPORT 47)                 

DRY BUTTERMILK - CENTRAL AND EAST                           

CENTRAL:  Central dry buttermilk prices are higher on a firm market.  Production 
is steady to higher, although condensed buttermilk orders continue to affect the 
amount of dry buttermilk being made.  Dry buttermilk inventories are building 
incrementally.  Western dry buttermilk is clearing into the region to help fill 
current regional demand.
EAST: Increased holiday cream supplies have churns working on expanded schedules 
and as a result dry buttermilk production has increased.  The dry buttermilk 
market remains firm as nearby supplies of dry dairy products are tight. 
Increased production is filling current orders, used internally, or replenishing 
tight inventories.  
                                                            
F.O.B. CENTRAL/EAST:    1.3700 - 1.4100
