I can't believe you would post these obscenely false comments. 450 pounds of corn = 8 bushels. That could be stored in the trunk of a car and not the size of a suv. Just that fact is so wrong, I can't believe you actualy post such unacurate babble, it makes this whole food b4 fuel look very unintelligent.

Yes, that SUV canard would be an interesting fact, were it true. One cannot live off about a pound of corn a day for a year.

Also, FWIW, a standard bushel of field corn is 56 pounds. And it's just kernels. That's the standard USDA/industry measurement. The 70 pounds is for corn by the ear.

First, some facts...
It only takes one bushel of corn to make almost 3 gallons of ethanol.

Secondly, instead of wondering about ethanol byproducts, why not take 2 seconds to google it...
Ethanol left overs are called "Corn distillers dried grains." It's super nutritious and used to feed cattle, which are shipped all over the world- including starving countries.

Huh, all that, from a quick google search.
