Buying Biomass
Okay. This is the last one for today. But there’s more to come tomorrow.
Sarah Brechbill, Purdue University, got to put her masters degree project on the stage today here at the Farm Foundation’s Transition To A Bio Economy conference. She looked at the cost to get biomass to a plant and specifically looked at switchgrass and corn stover.
She says that there’s really no one answer to what’s best for everyone. However, she did find that corn stover was generally cheaper. One reason is that it’s already being grown.

There's a big difference in animal welfare and animal rights. The rights people are the ones we've got to keep our eye on.

This is an interesting interview. Is Sarah Brechbill report published anywhere? I would like to see a copy of it.
