Trend toward DDG corn oil extraction is picking up speed

More and more ethanol producers are starting to extract some of the corn oil from their distiller grains. With tight margins, they like the idea of adding an additional salable product to ethanol and distillers grains.

Of course, livestock producers are concerned about how it is going to impact the nutritional value of the DDGs they have come to rely on–and whether the prices they pay for those products will adjust accordingly.

At the recent Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit in Des Moines, the director of ethanol services for the Omaha-based Gavilon Group—Randy Ives—discussed the trend towards corn oil extraction.  (Gavilon is one of the largest marketers of distillers grains in the U.S. markets.)
