For the last decade, ethanol has helped keep corn in high demand, and made it the most-planted U.S. crop. In fact, roughly 40 percent of all corn is now used to make ethanol. Meanwhile, the number of corn farms over 500 acres in size has increased over time, while the number of small corn farms is dwindling. And all this growth has led to record profits for the companies that buy and sell the nation's corn.

Approximately one third of corn entering an ethanol biorefinery will leave as distillers grains which can be used to replace corn in cattle, swine, and poultry diets. This replacement of corn with distillers grains should be considered. When distillers are accounted for ethanol is made from 24% of our 2022 corn crop.

Brazil Emerges as Corn-Ethanol Producer with Expansion of Second Crop Corn Farmdocdaily
Brazil, the world's second-largest producer of ethanol, has experienced a dramatic increase in the growth of ethanol processing plants in the nation’s Center-West. In contrast to the United States, the world's largest ethanol producer, most Brazilian ethanol is made from sugarcane. However, corn ethanol plants are being built throughout the Brazilian states of Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Goiás —where the volume of the second crop of corn has grown rapidly in the last decade.
How Ethanol Worsens the Worst Parts of Our Food System
In recent years, we've seen the expansion of the corn ethanol industry, monocrop farming, and confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs, or factory farms). The industries have proved mutually reinforcing; growth in one has fueled growth in the others.This three-headed monster didn't appear out of nowhere — it was born out of government subsidies for corn ethanol. Policies have supported ethanol as a "green" fuel — but it's far from sustainable. Not only does it fail to live up to its climate claims; it props up harmful monoculture practices and the polluting factory farm industry.
