[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5234436, member: 58386"] Switchgrass would be worth further investigation but as the article states the question is would the landowner be willing to give up his CRP payments and invest in the planting management and harvesting of switchgrass and would it be profitable? Furthermore how much fuel per acre of switchgrass would it yield and what would it cost to build processing plants at scale to make it viable.? All CRP landowners need to do at the present time in order to collect payments is to mow off whatever happens to be growing there if anything is growing at all. John Wayne and Ronald Reagan collected millions by having that desert they own in the program. Currently corn is still the preferred choice for ethanol because of predictable yields and the fact that it's traded on futures and the attractive market for the brewers mash . Even wet brewers grains are bringing $77 a ton and dried over $290 a ton. [/QUOTE]
