The information you provide is important to establish U.S. dry whey prices used in setting minimum class prices under the Federal milk order program. An accurate response to this survey is mandatory and subject to verification by the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) under Public Law No. 106-532. This law specifically protects the confidentiality of your report from public disclosure except as directed by the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture or the U.S. Attorney General for enforcement purposes to ensure compliance with the Dairy Product Mandatory Reporting Program.

Report:

• Edible non-hygroscopic dry whey meeting USDA Extra Grade standards.

• Price and quantity for dry whey in 25 kilogram bags, 50 pound bags, totes, and tankers.

• Price as either f.o.b. plant if the product is “shipped out” from a plant or f.o.b. storage facility if the product is “shipped out” from a storage facility.

• Complete transactions, i.e. dry whey is “shipped out” and title transfer occurs.

Do Not Deduct:

• Brokerage fees paid by the manufacturer.

• Clearing charges paid by the manufacturer.

Exclude:

• Forward pricing sales: sales in which the selling price is established (and not adjusted) 30 or more days before the transaction is completed.

• Intra-company sales of dry whey.

• Re-sales of purchased dry whey.

• Dry whey certified as organic by a USDA-accredited certifying agent.

• Sales of dry whey produced under faith-based close supervision and marketed at a higher price than the manufacturer’s wholesale market price for the basic commodity. (for example, kosher dry whey produced with a rabbi on site who is actively involved in supervision of the production process).

• Premium assisted sales (for example: seller receives additional monetary value above sale price from a third party (i.e. government or private entity) for the export of dairy products based on criteria defined by the third party).

• Sales of dry whey more than 180 days old.

• Sales of Grade A dry whey.

Records:

• Each person required to report information on this survey shall maintain, and make available to the US Secretary of Agriculture office, on request, original contracts, agreements, receipts, and other records associated with the sale of any dairy products during the two-year period beginning on the date of the creation of the records.
