MD_DA530 Dry Whey - Central U.S. Report 16 - Released on April 16, 2020 Dry whey prices shifted higher on the top of the range and one penny higher on the bottom of the mostly series. Dry whey/cheese production has seen cutbacks and disruptions due to the impacts of COVID-19 related food service restrictions and lighter demand. Even with milk wholly plentiful, a number of cheese producers are ebbing production schedules, while others are using this time to update/maintain facilities. Therefore, dry whey is reported as limited, and sellers are not feeling the same pressure as nonfat dry milk and/or buttermilk producers. Animal feed whey trading was quiet, and prices are unchanged. Dry whey market tones are steady, particularly when compared to the other dairy powder markets which are circumstantially bearish.
