     Nonfat Dry Milk - Western U.S.

     Report 39 - Released on September 29, 2022

     Both ends of the low/medium heat nonfat dry milk (NDM) price range moved lower in the West.
     The mostly price series was unchanged at the bottom, while the top moved half a cent higher.
     Stakeholders say demand is steady in domestic and international markets. Spot loads of
     low/medium heat NDM are available for purchasing. Low/medium heat NDM production is
     unchanged, though plant managers in the region say labor shortages and delayed deliveries of
     production supplies are preventing them from running full schedules. The bottom of the high
     heat NDM price range moved lower, while the top shifted upwards. Demand for high heat NDM is
     steady, and spot inventories remain tight. Lighter milk supplies in the region have enabled
     some drying operations to increase their production of high heat NDM in recent weeks.
