Ethanol fact(?) of the day

I hadn't heard this before, but a colleague told me today that 2/3 of the corn that goes into ethanol comes out in a form that can be used as animal feed (probably DDGS). If that's true, if we use 30% of our corn crop for ethanol it's more like 10% out of the food system, etc.

    Any hard facts on how much DDGS comes out per bushel of corn or gallon of ethanol?
