With corn so cheap it less expensive to burn it for heating to heat a

on pasture on corn, urea, low grade hay instead of good hay and oil

What is the heat output (BTU/bushel or whatever) from burning corn? I've
seen corn stoves for sale providing justification to the statement that
corn is cheap enough to burn. (Can you really feed a cow paper and urea
and get more cow?)

You forget that the corn plant has been busy converting sunlight into
chemical energy (biomass) for quite a few months. In fact there is
probably as much energy in the stover as in the maize grain.
