Location: Soil, Water & Air Resources Research
Project Number: 5030-12000-015-006-A
Project Type: Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Aug 1, 2016
End Date: Feb 28, 2021
Objective:
Facilitate implementation of a landscape design process for integrating cellulosic feedstock production into existing agricultural production systems within two feedstock supply sheds.
Approach:
Large plot and field-scale cropping system studies will be implemented and harvested using equipment provided by or supplied by other cooperators (e.g. New Holland) to the cooperator. Technologies for enhanced single-pass differential corn stover harvest will be developed and eavaluated at various sites throughout Iowa and possibly in near-by states.
