MINNEAPOLIS (DTN) -- The average DTN spot price for domestic distillers
dried grains (DDG) from 33 locations reporting for the week ended Oct. 1 was
$195 per short ton on average, up $1 versus one week ago. Prices came off
recent highs as corn and soybean meal prices fell since last week.
DDG prices were mixed but slightly higher on average, while the cash corn
and soybean meal prices dropped versus one week ago and added pressure to DDG
prices. The DTN National Average Corn Index was down 26 cents per bushel, while
the soybean meal price was down $19.10 per short ton versus one week ago.
Based on the average of prices collected by DTN, the value of DDG relative
to corn for the week ended Oct. 1 was 1.087%. The value of DDG relative to
soybean meal was 55.19% and the cost per unit of protein for DDG was $7.22
compared to the cost per unit of protein for soybean meal at $7.44.
