People seem to think that corn for food is taken off the ears and put in cans or frozen or whatever, there is virtually none of that in the Midwest or has there ever been so. Fresh corn is
a Western and small farm crop. Virtually all corn used for ethanol purposes is shipped out after
fermentation as wet cake or DDG (dehydrated distiller's grain) and used as high protein animal
food. It allows growers to feed with lower content grasses reducing the overall cost of beef and
pork production. So what's "Time to go back growing corn as food" mean that hasn't been explained?
