Dairy powders project – get spot pricing on dairy powders and determine if there would be savings to purchase ahead in any markets

Utility project for powders plants – determine if milk volumes versus natural gas consumption correlate enough for natural gas forecasts, should we factor in weather, or if there is a correlation to certain finished good production (dryer usage)
