OMAHA (DTN) -- The domestic distillers dried grains (DDG) average spot price from the 40 locations DTN contacted was down 5 cents at $134 per ton for the week ended April 18, versus the prior week. Spot DDG truck prices were lower as demand has slowed, along with added pressure coming from continued weakness in the corn market.

Based on the average of prices collected by DTN, the value of DDG relative to corn for the week ended April 18 was at 104.66%. The value of DDG relative to soybean meal was at 44.19%. The cost per unit of protein for DDG was $4.96, compared to the cost per unit of protein for soybean meal at $6.38. Soymeal prices have been moving lower most of the week as the soybean futures fell to their lowest price in 2019 at midweek.
