Development of industrial-scale cellulosic ethanol production continues to make progress. In a 12/31/07 article USA Today told of several cellulosic ethanol plants in the planning phase across the nation. These facilities will utilize a wide variety of feed stock sources including corn cobs, wood chips, sugar cane stalks, and wheat straw.
We have recently received an increase in inquiries about the Productive Conservation on Working Lands program. This in part due to an article about PCWL on page 2 of the December 20, 2007 issue of Agri-News. This article highlighted activities of PCWL and was very helpful in getting the word out about PCWL to landowners and farmers in Southern Minnesota. We will be reviewing proposals and crop establishment applications at the PCWL Technical committee meeting on 1/23/08. If you would like to discuss a project idea please contact me at our office 507-345-7418.
