A Beef Magazine analysis found corn and DDG prices have a 0.86 correlation from 2006 to 2022, with a regression indicating a 1% corn price move shifts DDG prices by about 0.77%. Using CBOT futures, 2023 corn was projected at $6.25 to $7.00 per bushel and soybean meal at $380 to $410 per ton, implying Kansas DDG prices of $250 to $280 per ton.
Buyers budgeting for 2023 can use projected corn and soybean meal prices to estimate DDG costs. The analysis is a forward-looking model, not a new market event.
