Yield

The page claims 28kg/Mg of corn, which isn't cited. This is 2.8% and seems high. That seems to say that mashed up corn is higher in fat than 2% milk, which is hard to believe. —BenFrantzDale 16:49, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

2% milk isn't 2% fat. It's 2% of the fat of normal milk.--(Forgot my account passowrd and too lazy to make a new one) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.217.12.210 (talk) 01:49, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
