"You would think there would not be that big a leap between using sugar cane vs corn stalks. Using the corn stalks would still allow the farmer to benefit while not inflating feed costs."

It's the sugar that makes a lot of ethanol. Sugar beets also contain a lot of sugar and easily converts to ethanol. Corn stalks - not so much. The "sweet" corn kernels contain most of the sugar.
