The sale of dried distiller's grains sounds like a big business in itself. Each ethanol plant that produces 100 cars of ethanol per week will also be producing 70 cars of DDG's per week. I'd like to know the price of DDG per ton to get an idea of the amount of supplemental income this will bring in.
J.R. Voss said the DDG business will be his area of responsibility once the plants are operational. He said the company has spent months setting up its DDG connections, especially in Texas and Oklahoma where there is a tremendous concentration of livestock. J.R.'s opinion is that DDG is not a "by-product" in the manufacture of ethanol. He said it was a "co-product", because DDG has its own market.
