DTN's hypothetical 50-million-gallon South Dakota ethanol plant lost 19 cents per gallon with debt service in late October, improved from a 34-cent loss in September. Debt-free plants would earn a 13-cent profit, and the DDGS price fell from $130 to $125 per ton.
Improved margins signal that production cuts are stabilizing the ethanol market, which may support corn demand over time, while lower DDGS prices pressure feed co-product values.
