Minnesota grows a great deal of corn & soybeans (about #4 in the USA), but we are dead-center top north in the USA, farthest away from any ports to export grain. So our crops are about as cheaply priced as anywhere in the country, often 35-65 cents less than other places in this coutry.

So _any_ way to use these crops locally is very much welcomed by ag people.

The byproducts of turning corn into ethanol (mash or dried distillers grains) and soybeans into oil (bean meal) are both excellent feed sources, and has been a boon to local feeders, rather than a negative. We will have issues with too much bean meal especially as the bio-diesel ramps up, will likely make feed costs lower around here.
