URBANA - Eight seminars have been set this winter to help cow-calf producers utilize by-products from ethanol production, sponsored by University of Illinois Extension.

"With the expansion of ethanol plants in Illinois and the Midwest, the production and availability of corn co-products, mainly corn gluten feed (CGF) and distillers dry grain solubles (DDGS), will play a major part in reducing the cost of beef cattle diets," said Dave Seibert, U of I Extension animal systems educator based in East Peoria. "However, it is important for producers to have a good understanding of these and other by-products, transportation costs, and feeding guidelines."<br><br><a href='http://www.aces.uiuc.edu/news/stories/news3852.html' target='_blank'>http://www.aces.uiuc.edu/news/stories/news3852.html</a><br><br>
