give it a few years for everyone to figure out what needs to be done to create a "balance" between food and fuel, and things will start to even out..

I read that about the distiller grains being fed to the cows after they are done processing the Ethanol. The problem is that the corn still has alcohol in it.. that is not a good thing to be feeding that to the cows... much less any corn for that matter

Read this : Meat Wagon: Cow-feed misdeeds | Gristmill: The environmental news blog | Grist

Just one of many stories that explains corn of any kind is not a good feed stock for cows, much less distiller grains that come from Ethanol production

I say let the cows eat grass and feed them a lil oats if you must and leave all the feed corn for the Ethanol plants ..LOL
