DDGS New Market Research
Nearly 5 million tons of DDGS are currently created in domestic dry grind ethanol production; locally owned cooperatives represent 48% of that production. For every bushel of corn made into ethanol, 18 pounds of DDGS are created and must maintain value to contribute to plant profitability.

Partnering

NCGA has joined forces with the Animal Agriculture Alliance to partner on specific projects addressing issues that are important to the livestock industry. The primary program areas currently are a Public Opinion Survey, Myths & Facts Brochures, and Liaison Work with National Livestock Organizations.

The mission of the NCGA livestock program is to monitor and provide support to issues within the livestock industry, which directly impact the corn grower. Livestock continues to be the corn grower’s most stable and important customer, consuming more than 50% of US corn.
