The varieties of corn produced for each use are different but they are completely fungible. If livestock is culled due to higher feed costs from diminished production this year then farmers will plant more human-edible corn next year (along with more soybeans and other alternative crops) because there is going to be less demand for dent corn to feed the livestock. The system balances itself.
