Yes, there could be. By-products from biofuels production are usable in cattle feeding rations. One thing we must remember is that there's basically a 3:1 ratio in the ethanol process, whereby it takes approximately three parts of feed stuff to produce one part of by-product that is then roughly equivalent, nutritionally and on an energy basis, to feed barley. So there is a fairly significant feed loss in the equation.
At this point, we are encouraging research on utilization of biofuels by-products, and at this time what we've seen across North America is not significantly discounted ethanol by-products available for cattle feeding rations.
A lot of the plant announcements that have been made for western Canada have been large plants, and large plants would almost certainly be required to dry their by-products in order to handle them. Once that by-product is dried, it is very stable. It is a commodity as stable as any feed grain, so it takes on the value of that commodity. Consequently, we're not seeing at this point significant discounts on biofuels by-products available to cattle producers.
I would suspect until usage of that by-product started to run up against total demand, we wouldn't see any significant discount versus other feed sources.
