>>>Feed for livestock is a different issue. There's barely a middleman in that transaction.

Are you aware that one of the primary co-products of the ethanol creation process is animal feed?

Yes, but the issue is the price of corn rising because of demand. It would be nice to see dual use, and that should lower the price somewhat, but my understanding is that the alcohol is a byproduct of the organism feeding on the sugar in the corn. Am I wrong?

I'd think that the second use of the corn would be less nutritious than the initial.
