MINNEAPOLIS (DTN) -- The DTN average price for domestic distillers dried grains (DDG) from 34 locations reporting for the week ended Sept. 15 was $254 per ton, up $9 versus one week ago. DDG demand from feeders has picked up as cash corn is not easy to buy or readily available, even with stronger basis values. On top of that, rail service slowed this past week as railroads prepared for a possible worker strike on Sept. 16, which was averted Thursday morning. https://www.dtnpf.com/…

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) said Wednesday domestic ethanol production tumbled 26,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 963,000 bpd, the lowest level since the week ended April 22, but about 3% higher than this time last year. Midwest ethanol production plunged 29,000 bpd or 3.1% to 902,000 bpd through Sept. 9, also a 20-week low but 2.4% above a year ago.

Based on the average of prices collected by DTN, the value of DDG relative to corn for the week ended Sep. 5 was 1.05%. The value of DDG relative to soybean meal was 58.46%, and the cost per unit of protein for DDG was $9.41, compared to the cost per unit of protein for soybean meal at $9.15.

In its weekly DDGS export update, the U.S. Grains Council said: "Barge markets are relaxing after their recent run-up and offers for DDGS Barge CIF NOLA are down $2 to $3 metric ton (mt) so far this week. FOB Gulf DDGS, however, are up $2 for spot positions and steady/down $1 for deferred positions. U.S. rail rates are sharply higher this week due to concerns about the strike, but those values should retreat soon. Offers for 40-foot containers are steady/up$4/M this week with the increase in ocean freight rates offering support. Offers for containerized DDGS to Southeast Asia averaged $408/mt through Thursday's trade."
