When fuel alcohol is made from corn, the mash is processed into feed for happy cattle and hogs.
The residual switch grass mash while not suitable for normal livestock feed could be used as feed for worm herds and the worms in turn used as additives to animal feeds and theres the vermicompost also.
I think ethenol from grass really does show better potential than the current approach of using the corn we need for livestock feed, movie snacks and my favorite....smooth Kentucky bourbon whiskey at a reasonable price per liter bottle ;D
