Ethanol Use Up, Agriculture Could Suffer

Because corn is generally used to feed livestock, there could be a rise in the price of meat, milk, and eggs in the next few years as a result.
Agricultural specialists say it’ll be important to look at the big picture and monitor the use of corn for feed and fuel.
