They feed it to animals too! Meat eaters take note.

"An East Yorkshire biofuel plant has told Yorkshire and Lincolnshire
farmers that its use of locally-produced wheat will boost their
businesses.

The area is one of the country's biggest producers of wheat, currently
used for animal feed.

Vivergo at Saltend, near Hull, said it aimed to use 1.1m tonnes of
wheat per year to make renewable fuel.

The high starch content of the region's wheat makes it ideal for
bioethanol, the company said.

Farmer and National Farmers' Union representative Ian Backhouse said:
"To have a customer on our doorstep taking the volumes of wheat
they're talking about is really good news for local farmers."..."

"...Up to 5% of bioethanol can currently be blended with regular fuel
for use in any petrol-based car engine but this may increase to 10% to
meet renewable energy targets, according to the AA..."
