     Dry Whey - Central U.S.

     Report 52 - Released on December 26, 2019

     Dry whey trading, early in the week, was busier than some expected. That said, prices
     remained steady over the holiday week. Production was variant, as some producers were down
     for extra days over the holiday while others took no more than a single extra day, as milk
     was overtly available. Dry whey inventories have been in balance, but some buyers did report
     that producers were looking to off-load inventories nearer to $.30 than the upper end of the
     range. Questions loom heading into Q1, but dry whey markets have recently steadied from a
     generally bearish 2019. Animal feed whey prices remained the same on quiet, holiday market
     trading.
