The following link leads directly to the reason why wheat and barley straw is the recommended crop for bio-ethanol.

Legalization of this substance would open a floodgate of varieties designed to maximize psychotropic properties.
Not legalizing the substance but, instead, using the plant as a feedstock for fermentable biomass creates the environment for an underground economy of illegal drugs indistinguishable from the plants grown for fuel and other byproducts.
Because this substance approached a legal limbo and fell back to earth without a satisfactory resolution for industry the likelihood that carbon fibre and ethanol/hydrogen fuel production will be decentralized is significantly lessened.
Sustainability within rural economies dependent on decentralized ownership of biomass crop lands and the production and processing end is at threat as 'weaker' crops that do not perform as well or in as many ways to serve the mobility fuel and automaker industries are ignored in favor of legislative barriers rather than cultural ones.
