     Dry Whey - Central U.S.

     Report 40 - Released on October 01, 2020

     Dry whey prices shifted up in most facets in the Central region. Most prices are now being
     reported above the $.30 mark and trading was busier. Customers say they are fulfilling end
     of year needs and are getting a little more resistance from prices hovering at or around
     $.30 now. Production has been robust, with mostly discounted milk until this week. There
     have been some cheesemakers down with maintenance issues, but production for months and
     throughout COVID-19 has been hearty, particularly as more milk has been available for cheese
     production with lighter Class I demand due to limited in-person school attendance. Animal
     feed whey trading remains somewhat quiet, as prices remain in the high $.20s for the most
     part. Dry whey market tones are currently bullish, as are most dairy powder markets.
