Illinois Corn Touting More Uses Than Just Ethanol

Corn can produce anything crude oil can. That's what the Illinois corn industry is touting. And Rodney Weinzierl with the Illinois Corn Growers Association says it's more than just ethanol.

Weinzierl says a similar method is used for the production of degradable sutures used in the medical industry.
