There is currently sufficient excess capacity for producing grain

Guess you are not aware that food and fuel is made from the same
bushel of grain.

Not necessarily. There's no such thing as waste biomass, because it's all
reused as compost. That stuff they want to make fuel out of would
otherwise have become fertilizer for growing more food.
