OMAHA (DTN) -- The domestic distillers dried grains (DDG) average spot price from the 40 locations DTN contacted was $4 higher this week versus the prior week, at $137 per ton for the week ended June 13. DDG prices in the Eastern Corn Belt are more firm compared to other areas and, while Upper Midwest values are mixed, that may change once the Upper Mississippi River opens.

While water is receding there, the river remains closed farther south where there are still seven locks closed. The biggest closure remains at St. Louis where water levels are at 43.7 feet as of midday June 14 and need to go below 38 feet, which may not happen until June 19.

Based on the average of prices collected by DTN, the value of DDG relative to corn for the week ended June 13 was at 86.79% and is below the five-year average. The value of DDG relative to soybean meal was at 42.59%. The cost per unit of protein for DDG was $5.07, compared to the cost per unit of protein for soybean meal at $6.77.
