# The Estimated Weekly Production Margin for a US Midwest Dry-Mill Ethanol Plant Fell_Industries_News_Hnmszj.org

> The estimated weekly production margin for a typical US Midwest dry-mill ethanol plant fell 7.81 cents to an 11-week low of 61.7 cents/gal, according to a Platts estimate. The decline came because ethanol prices fell far more than corn costs, while the dried distillers grain price rose to a five-week high. Feedstock corn cost fell for a 10th straight week to $4.1915/bushel, the lowest since at least 2010, on harvest supplies.

## Why it matters

Thinner ethanol margins can slow plant output and reduce demand for corn, while harvest-driven corn cost declines keep feed grain prices under pressure. The firmer DDGS price supports the feed co-product.
