What counts as a feedstuff. Apart from the corn and soybean benchmarks, every ingredient on this board is a feedstuff in the trade's sense: a processed protein, energy or fiber ingredient bought by the ton and priced against corn and soybean meal. What is a feedstuff? sets the category against straight grains and specialty ingredients.
What moves these markets. Our market guides take the drivers one ingredient at a time: the DDGS market, the corn gluten meal market, the alfalfa pellets market and the blood meal market.
