     Dry Whey - Central U.S.

     Report 32 - Released on August 06, 2020

     Dry whey prices were mixed on the range, while the top of the mostly series slipped by half
     a cent. End users say offers are aplenty in recent weeks. With plenty of milk available,
     cheese producers remain busy. Buyers are aware of the increases in production and
     availability. Producers say Midwestern customers are in the driver's seat, and loads are
     more available in the region than elsewhere, even in the West, where producers/sellers have
     a bit more leverage. Animal feed trading was somewhat slow. Prices dropped by a penny on the
     low end of the animal feed whey price range. End users, even those who work in animal feed,
     are finding edible grade spots at prices in their financial grasp. Dry whey market tones are
     uncertain to bearish.

     The DMN monthly average of the mostly price series for Central dry whey during July was
     $.3215, compared to $.3491 in June. The monthly average of the range price series for
