Robust prices have made corn more expensive for livestock feed and as food for people.

There is so much packaging and promotion cost in the use of corn for people food that this should not inflate that price.

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

I'd expect meat, milk, cheese prices to rise.

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