Yes, the leftover part is called DDG or Distiller's Grain. You can't feed at a 100% ratio to cows, but last I heard they were going 50% of it. My brother is a pretty big farmer (1400+ acres) and he said the goverment totally fudged the numbers for the planted acres of corn this year. That coupled with the drought is going to lead to a monstrous shortage.

If you have some extra money to invest, get some corn! I went up to Grand Forks last weekend and they appear to have been flooded in all the spring rains we got, their stuff is green, but most is not close to normal height. It was pretty dry around Alexandria area too for about 20 miles, 1/2 of the fields looked dead.
