I think he meant feed corn, not seed.
as for the other question
Try look up "how ethanol is made"?

Oh, and also look up how much of the corn grown in America is used for human consumption (less than 1%) and even much of that goes unsold and ends up in landfills some years.

The USA is a food IMPORTER not a food exporter. (we import 76% of our food needs) Much of which gets tossed out.

"I think he meant feed corn, not seed."

Well, thank you. I asked my question for a specific reason and if I get an answer, I will continue.

"Oh, and also look up how much of the corn grown in America is used for human consumption (less than 1%) and even much of that goes unsold and ends up in landfills some years."

Thank you again. My husband and I farm. We get some pretty good information on consumption and what it is consumed for and by. The American farmer, historically, can produce much more than America will consume. America is also a very wasteful country because we have so much.
