OK, September corn is currently trading at $3.18 per bushel.

How much corn do you think a lactating dairy cow will consume in a day?

One cow? you have to be kidding me...
How about 100, or 200 or 500? How about the cost of production? how about the grains **not** being planted to make more room for corn ethanol? How does this effect the price of your feed when there is **less** grain, or beet pulp, or silage for feed? How much has your meat gone up? Your Corn flakes? Your Soda? apply that to 300 million people...How many dairy's are just closing down because they can't afford to operate? How many are switching over to just growing non food/feed corn?
$1 worth of ethanol is costing Americans about $3.75 by now.
