MINNEAPOLIS (DTN) -- The average DTN spot price for domestic distillers
dried grains (DDG) from 33 locations reporting for the week ended June 11 was
$160 per ton on average, down $14 on average versus one week ago. One
merchandiser told DTN, "Demand is weak and inventory is high."
DDG prices were lower on average for the week, with some plants posting
sharply lower prices again. The cash corn price was lower and soybean meal
prices were lower versus one week ago, down $19.00 per ton. As for cash corn,

pressure on DDG. DDG prices have dropped $22 in the past 2 weeks.
Based on the average of prices collected by DTN, the value of DDG relative
