A new UNL software tool can help ranchers and farmers assess the economics of co-product storage. In the July 23 issue of Cornhusker Economics, Josie Waterbury, Graduate Research Assistant, and Darrell Mark, Extension Livestock Marketing Specialist, discuss the current co-product market and what the software shows.
"In the last few years the decrease in co-product price, particularly that of wet distillers grains plus solubles (WDGS) during the late summer months, has provided incentive for producers to purchase co-products during this period. This provided producers the opportunity to store the co-product and feed it at a later date. Although current co-product prices are not mirroring the “typical” ethanol co-product seasonal price trend, storage opportunities still exist for cattle feeders and cow/calf operations.
