What a difference a strong whey market can make in the dairy pricing arena! If you are not paying attention you may miss out on significant premiums in the September 2007 through August 2008 (relative to average values) period and these premiums are very good relative to the median Class 3 prices. If you think the extremely strong demand in the international skim powder market will continue to add to the Class 4 price then perhaps we do have a new model to consider when deciding on market strategies.
