The DTN spot price for domestic distillers dried grains averaged $145 per ton across 33 locations for the week ended Sept. 25, unchanged from a week earlier.
DDG prices were mixed but steady, and the Grains Council's CIF NOLA barge price for export DDGS fell $13 to $208 per metric ton. Lower ethanol plant production has not yet tightened supply enough to affect spot demand.
Flat domestic DDG prices and a lower export barge price indicate balanced supply and demand. DDG's value relative to soybean meal, at 53%, makes it a cheaper protein option for feed buyers.
