Ethanol is a short term fix for a long term problem. Everybody is getting huge, quick returns now on their money and that is why there are ethanol plants being built all over the country. With ethanol it won't be long before we will have to decide if we want to eat and use corn in other products or just produce ethanol. The Iowa Corn Growers Association has come out and said that there is enough corn to go around for everything but they are being short sided and just thinking about $5 corn. Corn end's up as an ingrediant or used in a lot of different products besides just livestock feed and corn meal. The ethanol by-product called DDG's can only be feed on a limited basis to hogs and chickens but works best with cattle. It also takes a lot of energy to produce ethanol. Once some one comes up with a more effiecient and less expensive way to produce an alternative fuel, a lot of these ethanol plants will be setting empty. I personally think bio mass ethanol and bio diesel is the way to go and is more efficient.
