# DDG Prices Lower

> DTN's average spot DDG price fell $2 to $132 per ton for the week ended September 13. DDG and other corn byproduct prices dropped after December corn futures lost 14 cents when USDA forecast a record crop, well above expectations. Ethanol output slid 67,000 barrels per day the week ended September 7.

## Why it matters

A larger US corn crop lowers corn values and the cost of competing feed, which pulls DDG prices down. Supplies remain ample even with the slowdown in ethanol output.
