About Half?

Here is an EPM article that talks about a unique situation in Canada involving their swine production and the running cost competition de-oiled corn DDGS have with wheat DDGS.  Yes wheat DDGs!  What I see as important here is that 'half" of the DDGs coming into Canada have gone through a COES process.  It is not scientific poll but we are well into the entire industry moving to COES and corn oil as a co-byproduct.

"With U.S. ethanol plants adding corn oil extraction in increasing numbers, about half the distillers grains coming into Canada is a low corn oil product, . . "

As long as the rising Asian middle class and parts south demand an increasing beef portion in their diet, the American corn ethanol DDGs will not have trouble finding a world wide market.  High protein, reduced fat DDGS also have a huge market in the American Dairy and Beef industry.

  2. Hey, that is my question! Any suggested answers? How can this cash cow be selling for a fraction of one quarter's earnings? Makes one a little nervous when the other shoe is going to drop. Or are we strapped into a rocket ship ready to blast off or explode on the pad?
