Cattle Producers Say Ethanol Industry Can Boost Beef Production DES MOINES, Iowa -- Cattle producers said that Iowa is poised to make a comeback as a major beef-producing state thanks to Iowa's booming ethanol industry. A high-protein feed that can be cheaply fed to livestock is left behind after the starch is removed from the corn kernel and used for ethanol production. Demand is increasing for the high-protein co-product of ethanol. Iowa cattle producers have learned just how good the feed is for their cattle. John Lawrence, the director of the Iowa Beef Industry Center at Iowa State University, said that Iowa ranked first in the number of cattle marketed from 1968 to 1972. But Iowa's fed-cattle market totals fell from about 4 million head per year 35 years ago to about 1.5 million last year. Packing plants that moved to the Southwest, environmental concerns, and development of large feedlots led to the drop. Iowa is the nation's top ethanol-producing state. Lawrence and others believe the availability of distillers, dried grains and other ethanol extras will give the state competitive advantage over other cattle-feeding states. kcci.com
