this will angriate my peeps
I am peerless so I am not overly concerned...
Can’t the government keep their godamn noses out of ANYTHING?
Leave us the hell alone already!!!!
Darn peers from that college fraternity need to stay off my lawn Saturday nights.
So much for the happy cows.
Where is the evidence? Where is the need? Who or what have gotten sick?
Is this ANOTHER government solution to problem that doesn’t exist?????
The FDA, another branch of the government busybodies, trying to tell you what you should do. Can we please tell the Marxists and the Moderate Democrats to get out of people lives? November, let’s tell them that we can do without them. We were fine for 210 years...
The title change is FReeping HILARIOUS!!!
So brew your own beer and do whatever you want with the leftover grain. I toss it in my compost bin. Another advantage to home brewing is you don’t have to pay beer taxes.
Even the steep water has feed value, and is used in animal production.
Of course, neither the 'recycled' grain or the steep water is included when calculating the exorbitant costs of making ethanol.
Because it is so important to make a big case against ethanol, it is permissible, even admirable, to lie by omission.
Only half of my objection to the size of FedGov is the massive waste of money on things that don’t need to be done. The other half is the massive interference in personal matters and in business matters that are none of the government’s business in any case. The idea of wasting perfectly good feed to make some bureaucrat happy and give a civil service climber one more “accomplishment” to list for his annual performance review disgusts me. Why not give every government agency a choice - they can review all regulations/laws they are responsible for and decide which 50% will not be repealed at the end of this year. We’d still have too many rules, but it would be a step in the right direction.
They’re gonna go too far and one day we will fight side by side with our bovine revolutionaries.

My fave brewpub does this. A local organic beef farmer picks up the spent grain every few days, feeds it to his cattle, and sells (at a steep discount) the resulting meat to the pub.
Awesome beef, at a decent price, and minimal waste. What’s not to love?
I suspect this is mostly conjecture. The overwhelming need for this new regulation is simply the FDA's overwhelming need to regulate.
if there was overwhelming evidence of widespread cattle injury/deaths from this, i’d say the grains would need to be processed to ensure no bacterial problems were passed onto the cattle. i have yet to see this overewhelming evidence of significant cattle problems from this.
Unfit for methanol production?
They're here to HELP. That's why the EPA gave farmers an incentive to plant corn late in 2013, so the late harvest & green, wet corn sucked up most of the storage winter heating propane, forcing the peasants to pay $5-6 a gallon to heat their houses if they ran out.
And that's why the government forced the removal of phosphate from peasant detergent and peasant dish soap, so that nothing would get clean, and you'd have to use twice as much water. They were HELPING.
And that's why they made us adopt CFLs, so we'd fill the landfills with small mercury bomblets, which would NEVER leach into the water table.
And that's why they reduced the amount of water your toilet tank holds, so that you'd use two or three times as much water to remove your waste.
And that's why they forced low sulfur diesel on us, which attracts more water (because of the biodiesel they put in it) and damages more engines (and kills the wicks on kerosene heaters). They were HELPING.
Step away from my pint and no one gets hurt.
can this same gum'ment give any figures on just how many beer-mad cows are running around? Any at all? Even one?
Follow the money.
