That chart seems to show there is more grain being grown for food than ever before.

More corn for fuel=more food. Surplus of animal feedstock if ethanol goes up.

Message 27270741

One tonne of corn produces 378 L of ethanol and 479 kg WDG (70% moisture content), or 309 kg of DDGS (10% moisture content).
Message 27270729

Far from taking corn out of the global food supply the distillation process yields a protein-rich grain byproduct that's being used to feed livestock.
