> Large open pastures producing grass fed meats would be a far better choice. The vast majority of cows are already pasture raised in the US. Those feedlots with packed pens serving tons of corn feed that most people think of when they think of factory farming is only the last step of the process called finishing that improves the fattiness and flavor of the meat for human consumption. The corn that's used for bioethanol is actually later fed to cows at those feedlots as distillers grains [1]. It accounts for a significant fraction of animal feed so eliminating bioethanol would make beef more expensive, not cheaper.
