The 60% corn gluten meal is derived from the germ, whereas 21% CGF comes from the bran. Ingredient values are typically based on protein levels, resulting in the varying prices.
 
I've always heard that the CGM is what has weed-suppression properties.

CORN GLUTEN MEAL

Corn gluten meal is the dried residue from corn after the removal of the larger part of the starch and germ and the separation of the bran. It may contain fermented corn extracts and/or corn germ meal. Corn gluten meal is usually marketed as either 40 or 60% protein (90% dry matter). It is considered an excellent source of bypass protein for ruminants and a valuable source of the sulfur-containing amino acid methionine.
