Privet, an old popular hedge material, does get out of hand

Yeah, I used to mountain bike along an old logging road where there was an overgrowth of kudzu. I swear after a rain you could hear that stuff growing. Kudzu has about 82% sugar content. I’m surprised no one has come up with a way to farm it and make ethanol or cattle feed out of it. Seems like it would be way more lucrative than switch grass or corn ethanol, given how fast it grows.
