[QUOTE="somn, post: 524423, member: 3721"] Maybe to a livestock producer the higher level of protien makes it a higher quality corn to him. However to an ethanol producer higher starch with lower protien makes a lower protien corn a better quality corn to him. So I guess it just goes back to each persons own ides of what a higher quality corn is now doesn't it? Why do you think the seed companies have been increasing the starch levels in corn and decreasing the protien levels over the last 5 years? Maybe you can't remember it but I remember corn that used to test at 9 to 10 % protien easily now some varities I planted last year didn't make 5% protien but to a person selling to an ethanol plant it doesn't matter the bushels were there and so was the starch. So now tell me what is higher quality to the corn farmer starch or protien? One answer whoever will pay the most for the type of corn they have. Same goes for cattle I've seen darn high dollar longhorn cattle get bought I've seen the same man sell those high dollar longhorn cattle for nothing 2 years later. Does that meen they were no longer high dollar cattle or does that meen 2 different people have 2 different ideas of what high dollar cattle are by definition? [/QUOTE]
