More ethanol plants will be coming to Ohio . While the ‘when’ and ‘where’ of additional Ohio ethanol plants is constantly evolving, but livestock producers will have to deal with the fundamental fact: less corn will be available for feed while more corn byproducts from ethanol plants will be available.
This month we feature a collection of resources that can be helpful to livestock, dairy and poultry managers who are trying to decide if and how ethanol co-products will become a staple feed source in their own operations.
