   DTN Weekly Average DDG Price Still Moving Lower

lower versus one week ago.

   MINNEAPOLIS (DTN) -- The average DTN spot price for domestic distillers 
dried grains (DDG) from 33 locations reporting for the week ended June 25 was 
$152 per ton on average, down $6 on average versus one week ago. Demand is 
still poor from some end users switching out DDG, along with overall lack of 
interest right now.

   DDG prices were lower on average for the week with some plants continuing to 
post sharply lower prices. The cash corn price was lower versus last week with 
DTN National Average Corn Index down 6 cents per bushel. Soybean meal prices 
fell early in the week but recovered versus one week ago, up $3.70.

   Based on the average of prices collected by DTN, the value of DDG relative 
to corn for the week ended June 25 was 1.026%. The value of DDG relative to 
soybean meal was 49.84% and the cost per unit of protein for DDG was $5.63 
compared to the cost per unit of protein for soybean meal at $6.42.

   U.S. Grains and Bioproducts Council in its weekly distillers dried grains 
with solubles (DDGS) export market prices report, showed these July prices as 
of June 25 that have dropped as well: CIF NOLA barge price was down $10 at $199 
metric ton (mt) versus on week ago; FOB vessel Gulf price was down $1 at $235 
mt; rail delivered PNW was down $15 at $216; and rail delivered to California 
was down $12 at $223 mt.

   Ethanol production in the United States averaged 1.09 million barrels per 
day (bpd) in the week ended June 19, the Energy Information Administration 
reported Wednesday. That is down 12,000 bpd week-on-week and 9,000 bpd, or 
0.8%, higher than in the same week last year. The four-week average output at 
1.102 million bpd was 2,000 bpd below the same four weeks last year. Midwest 
ethanol production averaged 1.037 million bpd, down 4,000 bpd week-on-week and 
14,000 bpd, or 1.4%, higher than in the same week last year. Four-week average 
output at 1.044 million bpd was 1,000 bpd below the same four weeks last year.
