| thinkstoomuch - 11/27/2024 12:02 I am worried about bad arguments given as truths to justify anything. Like my envelope math above. Distiller's from 1 bushel of corn makes 0.1 lbs of edible beef. That is a close to truth calculation, but highly defies "but we get ethanol and 18 pounds of distillers grains per bushel" statements implied value
Your "envelope math" is highly flawed in multiple places and nowhere close to representing the true value of ethanol/DDGS.
The remaining feed from a bushel of corn run through an ethanol plant is 18 lbs of DDGS. Do you know what DDGS is? I ask because your envelope math says that you do NOT know what "DDGS" is. DDGS stands for "Dry Distillers Grains with Solubles". Its roughly 12% moisture, meaning its 88% Dry matter.
Who converts their meat consumption to dry matter????? BTW, beef is ~70% dry matter, not 70% water.
