Burning corn as fuel raises the price of all meat products So, why did beef triple while pork is still cheap? Cattle and hogs both consume corn.

One example :
"
Wheat can replace all or part of the corn or milo in a swine diet on a pound-for-pound basis without affecting performance."
There are numerous substitutes for corn that work well with hogs. Not so with cattle.
Or so my neighor who works for the NC Ag Dept says and apparently NC State agrees as do universities and Ag Departments across the nation.
