Rabobank's October North American review finds feed grain substitutes such as barley, oats, rye, sorghum and wheat are scarce, limiting their ability to offset high corn prices. Dried distillers grains are pricier than soybean meal on a crude protein basis, and feed demand for soybean meal rose 2.4% year on year.
Scarce substitutes and high DDGS prices keep feed ration costs elevated, supporting demand for soybean meal and corn in US feed formulation.
