Feed costs impacted by growth of renewable diesel industry

Associate Professor Lee Schulz was interviewed by Agriculture Trends for the story "Feed costs impacted by growth of renewable diesel industry," which focuses on how growth in the renewable diesel industry has affected feed costs for livestock producers.

Schulz said that “Soybean meal and dried distillers grains have both risen by about 11% from a year earlier and complete feeds and other ingredients are up over 20%. Higher costs coupled with compressed hog prices continue to be detrimental to profitability.”
