Conclusion
Ethanol co-product contracting and storage opportunities exist for cattle feeders and cow/calf operations as illustrated in the co-product seasonal price trend. Several methods are available for the storage of coproducts, and operations must identify and refine the optimal strategy for their operation while at the same time ensuring that the benefits of storing the co-product exceed the costs of storage. Co-Product STORE quantifies the costs of co-product storage and allows producers to analyze and evaluate specific storage scenarios in response to changing market conditions.
