The show barely touched on the ethanol impact, which I thought it would. I think they said that about 10% of the corn grown goes to ethanol production. What they did hammer on is that 55% of all the corn is used as animal feed, and that virtually all of the corn is inedible without being processed first. They touched on that this is the first time in history that an Iowa corn farmer cannot feed his family with his crops.
