MD_DA530 Dry Whey - Central U.S. Report 30 - Released on July 29, 2021 Dry whey trading was quieter this week, as the top of the range and the top of the mostly series slipped lower. Undoubtedly, heavy milk supplies, particularly this late in the summer season, are keeping Class III production apace. Thus, whey inventories and offers have grown. That said, buyers are not the only hesitant market participants on whey markets. Producers are not enthused to offer sweet whey powder below the $.50 mark. Therefore, there is something akin to a stalemate on dry whey markets currently. Animal feed whey prices are unchanged on slow trading. Dry whey market tones are quiet to bearish. More producers who have the capacity/capability to produce high protein blends are continuing to do so, as those markets are still somewhat firm when compared to sweet whey powder production.
