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

NONFAT DRY MILK - WEST                                           

Western low/medium heat NDM prices are holding mostly steady in 
a lightly tested, holiday shortened week.  The market tone is 
mostly steady.  Producer offerings remain on the light side with 
buyer interest limited.  Resale offerings of older and current 
product continue to dot the landscape with prices often tending 
to be steady to lower from recent weeks.  Export demand is fair 
to good with the current world market prices moving higher and 
buyers reaching to the U.S. for some needs.  Production 
schedules are moderate heading into the holiday and are expected 
to be higher for a couple of days with no stress expected.  
Producers' stocks remain light.  High heat NDM prices are 
slightly higher on the top end of the range.  Producer offerings 
remain tight and they continue to juggle orders to meet needs.  
Buyer interest is fair to good for contract orders and light for 
spots.  High heat stocks remain limited.
